Brazilian F1 Grand Prix

The Brazilian F1 Grand Prix takes place next weekend, from 5-7 November 2010, at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 

Sad but true: only one more race to go in the 2010 calendar – which takes the teams to Abu Dhabi from 12-14 November.

Brazil is South America’s largest country and the fifth largest country in the world.  It is the only country in South America to speak Portuguese. 

Just a little way along the Atlantic coast to the northeast of Sao Paulo lies Rio de Janeiro, home to the famous ‘Girl from Ipanema’ and Copacabana beach.  Brazil is also home to the Amazon River and the famous Iguazu Falls.  If you are lucky enough to have the time and cash, go and see some of this beautiful country.
