How to Watch the 2025 São Paulo Grand Prix and Sprint Weekend Live
The 2025 Formula 1 season is entering its thrilling final stretch, and all eyes are on the São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos this weekend, running from November 7th to 9th. It’s a sprint weekend, meaning there’s both a shorter 24-lap sprint race on Saturday and the full 71-lap grand prix on Sunday. Lando Norris will start on pole for the sprint, ahead of his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri and Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli. The championship is incredibly tight, with Norris holding a slim one-point lead over Piastri, while Max Verstappen of Red Bull remains in striking distance, 36 points behind the British driver. With 116 points still up for grabs across the remaining four grands prix and two sprint events, every lap this weekend is going to count.
For fans looking to follow the action live, BBC coverage will be extensive. Commentary and updates are available on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, via BBC Sounds, and on the BBC Sport website and app. The sprint race kicks off at 14:00 GMT on Saturday, followed by qualifying later that evening from 18:00 to 19:00 GMT. Sunday’s main race begins at 17:00 GMT, with build-up starting ten minutes earlier. To get the full season experience, the Chequered Flag podcast provides previews, race analysis, and interviews, and it’s highly recommended for anyone wanting deeper insight into the championship battle.

Weather conditions at Interlagos are expected to add another layer of drama. Friday’s practice sessions were dry, but Saturday looks set to be wet and windy for the sprint race and qualifying, which could shake up the grid. On Sunday, temperatures will be cooler, around 20°C, with light rain expected, which could make tire strategy crucial for the drivers.
For those unfamiliar with the sprint format in 2025, it starts with a standard Friday qualifying session, split into three elimination rounds called SQ1, SQ2, and SQ3, which determine the grid for Saturday’s 100km sprint race. Points are awarded to the top eight finishers, from eight for first place down to one for eighth, and these are added to the drivers’ championship standings. After this weekend, the final sprint event of the season will take place in Qatar at the end of November.
In the United States, fans can catch the Brazilian Grand Prix on ESPN2, with streaming options available on ESPN+ and Fubo, the latter offering a free trial for new subscribers. The race starts at 2:00 p.m. local time in São Paulo, which translates to 12 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Mountain, 10 a.m. Pacific, and 9 a.m. Pacific Time for viewers across North America.
With McLaren teammates Norris and Piastri fighting for the championship, Verstappen still in the mix, and tricky weather conditions at Interlagos, the São Paulo Grand Prix promises to be a weekend full of high-speed drama, strategic battles, and unforgettable moments for F1 fans around the world.
