The Brazilian Grand Prix has been a staple of the Formula 1 calendar since its first edition held in 1973 at Interlagos, the scene for all but 10 races staged at the Jacarepagua track in Rio between 1978 and 1989.
For over 30 years it was a fixture of the opening rounds of the season, holding the curtain-raiser in 1976, between 1983 and 1990, and 1994-1995. It has also hosted the final round in 2004, from 2006 to 2008, and again from 2011 to 2013.
