The Brazilian Formula 1 Grand Prix, the 21st round of the championship, will take place this weekend and could feature a decisive factor: rain. The weather conditions in São Paulo at this time of year are very changeable, and rain is often a feature of this Grand Prix, held at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, also known as Interlagos. For this weekend, there is a 75% chance of rain on Saturday, the day of the sprint race and qualifying for the main race. In the lead-up, the main beneficiary of these conditions would be Dutch four-time champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who is one of the best drivers in Formula 1 history in the rain. A testament to this was his impressive performance last year on this same circuit, where he won after starting from 17th place. Argentine Franco Colapinto, for his part, would have a good opportunity to make amends for what happened last year, when he suffered greatly in the rain and crashed in both qualifying and the race. Action at the Brazilian GP will begin this Friday, with the free practice session and qualifying for the sprint race.
