2025 Sao Paulo GP start time: how to watch, live stream, F1 schedule and weather

A sprint weekend in Brazil brings three days of competitive Formula 1 action this weekend, and it’s all being broadcast and streamed live, withe Sunday’s Grand prix starting at 5pm GMT.

The South American location means that all of the sessions take place in the afternoon for European viewers: sprint qualifying will be at 6.30pm GMT on Friday, ahead of the sprint race itself at 2pm on Saturday, then Grand Prix qualifying at 6pm.

Each one could be crucial in the drivers’ championship where Lando Norris leads by a single point over McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri, and Max Verstappen is running out of time to complete his comeback. The Red Bull driver is 36 points behind Norris with four race weekends to go.

Here’s your full weekend schedule as well as all the information on how to watch the Interlagos event.

Sky Sports F1 subscribers can also access session highlights shortly after they finish via the Sky Sports app, and F1 releases short highlights on YouTube shortly after every session.

Rain could play a major role at Interlagos this weekend, with early forecasts pointing to thunderstorms across the schedule.

Saturday’s sprint is expected to take place in wet conditions, while light rain on Sunday afternoon could influence the main race.
