(However, that link is weird, as the race is referred to twice as 'Brazil 2022/Brazilian Grand Prix', and twice as the 'Sao Paulo Grand Prix' - rather odd)
Same with the Mexico City GP name, rather than it being called the Mexican GP - shows who's funding it?

I had always considered that the move to have the Brazil race move back to Rio was the reason it was named the Sao Paulo GP, especially after the FIA gave them a contract till 2025.
Civil pride, regional antagonism, and all that.
