With four races left in the season, the fight for the Formula 1 world title remains wide open. Lando Norris currently leads the standings with 357 points, followed closely by Oscar Piastri (356) and Max Verstappen (321). The Brazilian Grand Prix, held at the legendary Interlagos Circuit, could very well reshape the championship.
The Brazilian weekend, scheduled for November 7–9, promises to be one of the toughest of the year. The sprint format, with only one free practice session, will test the drivers’ adaptability ahead of the main race on Sunday, November 9, at 6 p.m. (CET).
A demanding circuit where experience will matter
The José Carlos Pace Circuit, 4.309 km long, is one of the most iconic tracks on the calendar. With its 15 corners, steep elevation changes, and a mix of high-speed and technical sections, it demands both precision and power.
On paper, the layout seems perfectly suited to the strengths of Red Bull, which performs best on traditional-style circuits. The unpredictable weather forecast could also play into Verstappen’s hands, as he’s notoriously strong in the rain.
But watch out for McLaren: Norris usually thrives in these tricky conditions, while Piastri will be eager to bounce back after several inconsistent races. A weekend full of twists and turns seems almost inevitable.
Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull: the battle for the constructors’ podium
Already crowned World Constructors’ Champion with 713 points, McLaren can now focus entirely on the drivers’ title. Norris holds a narrow lead, while Piastri, particularly strong in sprint weekends, is determined to take control in São Paulo.
The British team remains the benchmark this season, with a car that combines speed and balance. Its ability to perform on all kinds of circuits, especially those with major elevation changes, gives McLaren a solid advantage heading into the final stretch.
For Red Bull, the mission is clear: get back in the fight. Verstappen, dominant on traditional layouts, will rely on his RB21’s reliability and his mastery in wet conditions to close the gap.
But it’s also a team effort: Yuki Tsunoda, still fighting to secure his seat for 2026, will need to deliver valuable points in the Constructors’ Championship. Every mistake could prove costly, with Ferrari and Mercedes currently second and third in the standings, on 356 and 355 points respectively.
An Electric Weekend in São Paulo
Interlagos has often been the stage for unforgettable moments, and the 2025 edition promises to add another to the list. Forecasts predict a wet and unpredictable weekend, where strategy and composure will make all the difference.
As the season nears its end, the pressure keeps building: after São Paulo, the championship will move to Las Vegas (November 20–22), Qatar (November 28–30), and Abu Dhabi (December 5–7). Every point, every lap, and every strategic call could decide the outcome of the season.
