The Brazilian Grand Prix will go ahead as planned despite inaccurate rumours on social media that it might be at risk, Formula 1 chiefs have confirmed.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was named as the new president of Brazil after narrowly defeating the incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. Demonstrations have been taking place across the country since, as supporters of the latter refuse to accept the result.
Bolsonaro is still yet to concede despite receiving two million votes fewer than his rival. Even when speaking to the media for the first time since the election, he avoided stating that he had lost and also refused to condemn those who have been protesting the result.
