O Grande Prêmio de São Paulo de 2025, 53ª prova válida pelo Mundial de Fórmula 1 no país, mantém vivo um retrospecto iniciado em 1973. Desde então, 49 pilotos diferentes já conquistaram a primeira posição do grid no Brasil, em corridas disputadas em duas sedes: o antigo traçado de 7,96 km de Interlagos, Jacarepaguá (Rio de Janeiro) e, a partir de 1990, o atual circuito José Carlos Pace, mais curto e com sentido anti-horário.
Ayrton Senna lidera o ranking de poles brasileiras com seis voltas mais rápidas — três no Rio (1986, 1988 e 1989) e três em São Paulo (1990, 1991 e 1994). No total, pilotos do país largaram na frente 14 vezes: Emerson Fittipaldi (1974), Nelson Piquet (1981), Rubens Barrichello (2003, 2004 e 2009) e Felipe Massa (2006, 2007 e 2008) completam a lista.
