The Brazilian round of the Formula 1 season was safeguarded with the last deal, when the agreement switched from one that included no sanctioning fee, to one with a fee. This cost was footed by the local government, which was the driving force behind the race's official renaming from Brazilian Grand Prix to Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Speaking of the deal Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said: "I am delighted to announce we will be staying at Interlagos until 2030, and I can’t wait for many more years of the wonderful atmosphere that the Brazilian fans bring.
"Brazil has such a rich racing heritage, and this iconic circuit is a favourite of drivers and fans around the world. It embodies everything that is great about racing, and we look forward to seeing how it develops over the years to come to create an even better experience."
