The São Paulo Grand Prix 2026 is set to take place this weekend, and fans can catch every session online for free through a limited-time offer. The race at Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, Brazil, marks the 29th round of the season and follows a dramatic Mexico City GP where Kimi Antonelli secured the 2026 Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship.
Antonelli, driving for Mercedes, finished third in Mexico City to clinch the title with 380 points, becoming the youngest F1 champion at age 20. Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing won the race, his third victory of the season, but the spotlight belonged to the young Italian.
