The Interlagos circuit  is positioned directly in the middle of the Sao Paulo metropolis, giving it a unique atmosphere. It is edgy, dangerous but most of all passionate. The city has a huge wealth divide and this is captured here in one photo. The residents of the local 'favella' shanty town watch on as the multi-million dollar F1 show arrives into town.
