Vettel shocked at plan to shift Brazil race from Interlagos

The Hindu  

Sebastian Vettel said he was shocked to learn that the atmospheric Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo is to be axed as the home of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The three-time winner of the race in the rolling suburbs of the sprawling city said he felt like a fan losing an important part of the sport's history when he heard the news. Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro said earlier this week that the race was to move from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro next year. I'm sort of a fan of hanging on to old things.” Apart from the history of Interlagos, Sao Paulo has also given Formula One several great drivers including Ayrton Senna, Rubens Barrichello and Felipe Massa.
