Let's hope and pray that deal will be signed...one of the classics on the calendar, it'd be so sad if that would go to some new track that I think isn't even built yet..

Just now, by big coincidence, I read that there was a fatal crash (again!) at Interlagos in the SuperBike Brasil last weekend  

 

It's really not a track for motorbikes, but for cars it is fantastic.

By the way, have you ever had any problems around there in terms of personal safety? Interlagos is 'famous' as THE hotspot for criminal activity in the F1 world, like stuff being stolen from teams, not always without intimidation.

Yeah, unfortunately.

 

As you said, Interlagos has a high risk for the motorcycle pilots. I do not know why they insist in keep these races there.

I don't live in the neighbourhood of Interlagos, so I can not tell you about the safety in general there. I just mentioned because it is an easy acess for me 

 

But, I believe that's a specific problem only during the F1 weekend.

 

I have already been there twice for F1, and many others to go karting in a track next to the circuit and I have never any issue like that.

Yeah I know there have been rollerskiing events there (I believe on a long stretch of asphalt parallel to the straight that comes after the Curva do Sol), and they never had this kind of problem neither  

 

Just wondering in case I ever go there

The qualifying session in was pretty dang good.

 

Stroll finally has his first pole.

"Finally"? I don't think anyone expected him to ever get one
