The top three should return to the pit lane after the chequered flag; the FIA procedure also sets out the weighing, interviews and podium sequence.

The FIA's post-race procedure for the São Paulo Grand Prix says the top three finishers should return to the pit lane after the chequered flag. They will find the boards numbered 1, 2 and 3 at its entrance.

Each driver will be weighed by the FIA and must be fully attired, including helmet and gloves. Water will be available in parc fermé after weighing. The post-race interviews will also take place there, with the interviewer selected by the commercial rights holder.

Once the interviews are complete, the drivers will be escorted to the cool-down room and then to the podium area. After the ceremony, the FIA Media Delegate will escort the top three to the TV pen and then to the FIA press conference.
