Motor Racing: Plan Ahead
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AYRTON SENNA will be back, this time in the Williams-Renault, to defend his title on home ground after his dramatic win in the Brazilian Grand Prix last year. In what became more than just a contest of driving, Senna outmanoeuvred Damon Hill, now his team-mate, to emerge victor in a race which placed three Britons in the first five. This year's opening race in the Formula One season is on 27 March.
The traditional-style Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo is both a testing challenge to the drivers and a delight to the spectator, particularly this season when driving skills will be a prominent factor. The circuit is full of elevations, tight bends and long fast straights. The corkscrew left to right bend is the first corner on the main straight and is particularly exhilarating as the track drops away.
The huge Brazilian crowd will have, like the Italians at Monza, the same enthusiasm as they support their drivers, Senna, Rubens Barrichello and Christian Fittipaldi.

Race tickets, which include grandstand seats, are valid for all the practice sessions and the Grand Prix on the Sunday and cost pounds 177. The grandstand is situated high up at the end of the main straight, giving a very good view of the first bend, the exit from the pit lane and the back straight leading into the chicanes.
