The extension of the link was made public in the heat of the Brazilian GP this weekend, in which the Italian Kimi Antonelli debuts the world title.
The organization's previous contract with the Brazilian circuit, known for being the home of the late legend Ayrton Senna, expired in 2030.
In a statement, F1 stated that the agreement provides for the Sao Paulo mayor's office to continue making "significant investments to offer a world-class spectacle."
The president and CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, highlighted the importance of Brazil for the history and future of the competition.
Domenicali also highlighted the passion of Brazilian fans and recalled that the country has produced 33 drivers in the highest category of motorsport, including world champions such as Senna, Nelson Piquet and Emerson Fittipaldi.
Currently Gabriel Bortoleto and Rafael Câmara are part of the grid of a contest whose popularity has grown in recent years in the Latin American giant.
The mayor of Sao Paulo, Ricardo Nunes, pointed out that the continuity of the event boosts the economy, generates employment, strengthens tourism and increases the international projection of the capital of São Paulo.
The Brazilian GP has been part of the F1 world calendar for more than 50 years and constitutes one of the historic stages of the competition.
Interlagos has been the protagonist of numerous memorable races and has hosted six drivers' world championships, including the titles won by the Spanish Fernando Alonso and the British Lewis Hamilton.
One of the most notable moments in recent years was the victory of the Dutchman Max Verstappen in 2024, when he came back from seventeenth position on the grid to win.
