Notable corners

T1-T2Senna SA downhill left-right plunge under heavy braking right after the line, the best overtaking spot on the lap and a corner that rewards a late, committed entry.
T3Curva do SolA long left that opens onto the back straight, where carrying speed through the exit feeds the run down to Descida do Lago.
T4-T5Descida do LagoA downhill double-left that hates understeer, a balance test in the middle of the lap.
T6-T11The infieldA run of medium and slow corners through the lowest part of the circuit where mechanical grip and traction matter on a bumpy surface.
T12JuncaoThe slow left that decides the lap, a traction test on exit that feeds the long uphill climb to the line, where a small loss costs a large amount down the straight.
T13-T15The climb and ArquibancadasThe flat-out uphill sweep past the grandstands back to the pit straight, taken near flat and rewarding a stable, well-loaded car.

★Circuit DNA: what it demands

STATIC

The analytical heart of the page. What this track asks of a car, and which teams and drivers it should reward downstream.

DOWNFORCE POWER UNIT TRACTION BRAKING TYRE DEG LOW-SPD BIAS

Demand profile · 0 (low) to outer ring (extreme)

Downforce level Very high

Traction demand Medium
Braking severity Low
Tyre degradation Low
Low-speed bias High

In one line

A short, demanding lap defined by traction, tyres and power. The abrasive, bumpy surface chews tyres over a stint, while Juncao and the long uphill climb to the line make traction and power-unit strength decisive. Add a medium-high downforce setup for the middle sector and famously changeable weather, and Interlagos rewards a car that puts its power down cleanly and looks after its rubber.

Strategy and tyres

SEASONALSTATIC
Optimal strategyeditorial1-stop

High tyre wear on an abrasive surface and frequently changeable weather make this one of the least predictable strategy calls of the year, with a two-stop often live and a damp track able to rewrite the plan entirely.
