Grandstand Breakdown
Interlagos circuit map showing grandstand locations — Grandstand M is on the main straight opposite the pits, Grandstand A runs along the back section.
The top recommendation for first-time visitors. Grandstand M sits directly opposite the pit lane with views of the start/finish straight, pit entry and exit, and Turn 1. Reserved numbered seats mean you can arrive at a reasonable time without rushing for position. The roof cover is important — November at Interlagos is wet season and rain is common mid-race. The price premium over Grandstand A is worth it for the experience.
Located alongside the main straight on the pit exit side. Good views of the cars accelerating out of the pits and down the straight. Reserved seating like Grandstand M. Slightly less comprehensive view than M but still excellent for watching race strategy play out through the pit stops.
The largest grandstand at Interlagos and the most affordable option. Unreserved seating means arriving early to claim a good spot — regulars who know the circuit get there 90 minutes before sessions start. No roof cover, so a poncho is essential. The atmosphere in Grandstand A is excellent and the high-speed final sector views are dramatic. For fans who want the loudest, most immersive crowd experience at a lower price, this is the right choice.
Located at the iconic Senna S complex at the start of the lap. Watching cars brake from race speed into Turn 1 on the opening lap is one of the most dramatic moments in F1 — this grandstand puts you right there. Unreserved seating, no cover. Good choice for technical motorsport fans who want to watch braking and corner entry.
The Heineken Village is a festival-style area on the inside of the circuit with close-up views of cars through the final corner sequence. Live DJ sets and entertainment run throughout the day alongside the racing. Two ticket tiers: field area (cheaper, no food/drink included) and Star Premium (open Heineken bar and finger food). Tickets go on sale later than grandstand tickets. Best for fans who want atmosphere, entertainment, and racing in equal measure.

Where to Stay for F1 Brazil 2026 →Hospitality Options
Interlagos offers a solid range of hospitality packages at different price points. Unlike some circuits where hospitality is purely about the catering, the suites at Interlagos generally offer genuinely good track views.
Orange Tree Club
The most accessible hospitality option at Interlagos and the one most commonly recommended. Located on the inside of the circuit at the Orange Tree corner, with comfortable lounge seating, a full hot and cold food service, and open bar including beer. The views of cars through the corner are excellent. This is the right choice for fans who want a step up from grandstand without paying Paddock Club prices.
Champions Club
Located at the top of Grandstand B, with views across the pit lane, start/finish straight, and the first corner. Full catering service including breakfast and lunch, open bar. More expensive than the Orange Tree Club but better views of the most action-heavy part of the circuit.
Formula 1 Paddock Club
The most premium hospitality in Formula 1. Located directly above the pit lane with direct sightlines to all team garages. Includes gourmet catering, open premium bar, F1 driver appearances, and access to pit lane walks (for Paddock Club guests only). The most expensive option on the circuit by a significant margin — but for hardcore F1 fans who want to be as close as possible to the teams, there is nothing comparable.

Where to Buy
Tips Before You Buy
- Buy a 3-day ticket — single-day tickets sell out faster and the price difference per day rarely justifies skipping sessions. Practice on Friday gives you time to learn the circuit layout before qualifying.
- Covered seats matter in November — Interlagos in November is wet season. Grandstand M’s roof cover is genuinely useful, not just a comfort upgrade.
- Unreserved grandstands require early arrival — for Grandstand A and H, arriving 90 minutes before session start is the norm for regulars who want good positions.
- Children under 5 are not admitted — children between 5 and 12 must be accompanied by an adult with their own ticket. There are no child discounts.
- Disabled access — all grandstands at Interlagos are accessible for reduced mobility. Confirm availability with the ticket provider before booking.
- No re-entry on the same day — plan your food and water accordingly before entering the circuit.
