Interlagos, like many pre-World War II circuits, has banked corners and the drivers start their lap on a half oval — in fact, the track could be raced as a huge oval from 1957 and 1990, when it was reintroduced to the F1 calendar. The drivers fling back up the hill and into the banked last turn after squirming through the Senna S and down to Turn 4. They then travel through a winding in-field stretch with some tricky camber adjustments.
Because of the track's bowl-like shape, Grandstand A on the banked entry to the start-finish straight will provide you with a double whammy of views, allowing you to witness the cars winding through the infield section before passing under you. Grandstand M, on the other end of the straight, will put you on top of the first turn and the Senna S, the finest place on the circuit to view overtakes.
In Brazil, a carnival spirit reigns supreme, and seeing Formula 1 cars race alongside people is an experience that every F1 fan should have. True, there won't be a local driver to root for any time soon, but that won't stop the festivities at Interlagos.
