What is the weather forecast for the 2026 Sao Paulo Grand Prix?

Brazil hosts Round 20 of the 2026 season, with the drivers and teams heading to Sao Paulo for the final part of this triple header.

But what kind of weather conditions will the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace - better known as Interlagos - see this weekend?

Brazil so often gives the world of F1 wet weather classics, but last year the race was run in the dry, with Lando Norris winning for McLaren. He beat Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen in what was a still a chaotic race with Safety Cars and crashes featuring on Sunday afternoon.

Norris might be in the mix again this year, while Antonelli and Verstappen certainly will be. Those two look set to fight with the Ferraris, as everyone watches on to see how Antonelli will drive in the wake of sealing his maiden Drivers' title.
