Ecclestone said: "We have always had an excellent relationship with Brazil and we have had two great Brazilian drivers - Jose Carlos Pace and Nelson Piquet. I am happy to have reached this agreement with the city hall."

The new contract for the deal is expected to be officially signed within the next few weeks.

Good to see Interlagos remains on the calendar, no doubt the teams and the whole F1 circus will continue to dislike going there but I love watching the race :D
