Interlagos was once one of the best circuits in the world.
In its sanitised modern form, it is less challenging, but extremely bumpy, which presents its own difficulties.
One of F1's rare anti-clockwise tracks, it often produces great races because of its long pit straight.
This is one reason why it has been moved to an unfamiliar end-of-season slot in 2004 - the other is so that the hoped-for championship climax can take place during European television prime time.
