The first and only free practice for Formula E in São Paulo was held on Saturday (06) at the Anhembi Sambodromo stadium after Friday’s practice was canceled due to a radio communication problem between the FIA ​​and the drivers.

Work on the track opened for work in the 2025/26 season. Pascal Wehrlein, champion of the 2023/24 season, was fastest on the day with a time of 1 minute, 09 seconds and 853 minutes.
