The first free practice sessions of the schedule took place this Friday (4). At the José Carlos Pace Circuit, very hot with the thermometer reaching almost 30ºC and the sun shining brightly in the sky and heating the asphalt.
However, for the coming days, a lot of rain is expected in São Paulo and Interlagos. And for Marçal Müller, it is difficult to know what to predict with such climatic change. “We started to take a little example from past races that might have the same forecast as tomorrow and start trying, by feel, to find the best setup. But we will only know when the game starts tomorrow,” he told F1MANIA.NET.

As for Miguel Paludo, the only hope is to have a weekend with good results. “It’s different, tomorrow that Interlagos wakes up and no one knows how it will be, wind, rain, drizzle, but let’s go. Interlagos already has this characteristic, I hope we can have a good weekend,” he said.
Finally, Jeff Giassi told F1MANIA.NET that “I hope there is no chaos. If it rains, we don’t have much reference on what works well in the rain. This year, I only had the opportunity to do one rain practice and the last time I did a race in the rain was in 2022, so if it rains we will go for it and see what happens. There’s no point in thinking too much, but if it ends up not raining, at least everything we could do to prepare, at least we prepared.”
