Circuit
In the 1970s, when Emerson Fittipaldi tasted success on international level, the Brazilians decided that they would also have a Grand Prix. In 1973 the track hosted its first championship Grand Prix. Fittipaldi, Carlos Pace and Carlos Reutemann distributed the spoils among themselves in the 1970s. In early 1980s a $15m redevelopment programme was agreed here. Those were the heydays of Ayrton Senna.
No Brazilian has been the world champion after Senna's death. Yet the passion of Brazilians for the sport is unchanged.
Achievement
Driver Fernando Alonso became the youngest ever Formula One World Champion at the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix.
