Formula One confirmed to Sports Illustrated on Wednesday that the São Paulo Grand Prix will happen as planned, as post-election protests take place across Brazil.
Sunday’s election saw former leftist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva narrowly beat outgoing president Jair Bolsonaro, who has has yet to explicitly concede defeat, and the results have sparked protests across the country. On Monday, truckers who support Bolsonaro blocked roadways across the country, and per Reuters, video showed them calling for a military coup.
Protests had spread to São Paulo, among other cities.
Bolsonaro gave a brief speech on Tuesday and notably did not contest the election results.
