"Well, I started liking Formula 1 in 2019, it’s a sport I fell in love with at first sight. Then I tried to get into this field, and I’m also a kart driver.

STORYLINE:
Racing fans flocked to the Interlagos racetrack despite a rainy weekend to watch the Sao Paulo City Formula 1 Grand Prix.
300 thousand people are expected to attend the three-day event in Sao Paulo.
Heavy rain on Saturday washed out qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix, with Sunday’s race set to start 90 minutes earlier than originally scheduled amid the forecast of more rain.
Organizers announced qualifying had been postponed to Sunday morning after a two-hour delay, with no cars having the chance to clock any laps.
Earlier, McLaren driver Lando Norris won the Formula 1 sprint race to cut his deficit to championship leader Max Verstappen.
Fans had to arrive on the early hours of Sunday to watch the main race qualifying.
Many also wanted to see the tribute to legendary three-time champion Ayrton Senna, with his title-winning McLaren to be driven by one of his biggest fans, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.
