Check out the updated schedule for the Brazilian Grand Prix

The Formula 1 season continues this weekend with the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, one of the most iconic circuits on the calendar. Fans can look forward to an action-packed weekend, as the event will also feature another sprint race. The sessions will take place at convenient times for European viewers, meaning F1 fans can enjoy the action in the 

afternoon instead of late at night. 

Favorable times for fans 

After two weekends of late-night races, the Brazilian GP offers a much friendlier schedule for Dutch and European fans. Because of the sprint format, Friday’s program will be slightly different: only one free practice session will take place before drivers head straight into Sprint Qualifying later in the day. 

Saturday will be packed with action as well, starting with the Sprint Race, followed by the main qualifying session later that afternoon. With heavy rain in the forecast, both sessions could turn into unpredictable spectacles. On Sunday, the main event, the Brazilian Grand Prix, will take place, and there’s a chance of showers again over São Paulo. 

Weekend schedule (Central European Time) 

Friday, November 7 

● Free Practice 1: 15:30 – 16:30

How to watch the Brazilian Grand Prix 

In the Netherlands, Formula 1 is broadcast live on Viaplay and F1 TV Pro. Viaplay is offering a special promotion this weekend, making Sprint Qualifying, the Sprint Race, and the main Qualifying session available for free on Viaplay TV. However, the Brazilian Grand Prix itself will only be available to subscribers. 

German broadcaster RTL, which holds a sublicense this year and is part of many basic TV packages, has decided not to air the Brazilian Grand Prix.
