F1 2022 today, live

And so far our direct! Thank you very much for joining us in this exciting classification of the US GP.

We return tomorrow with the race and with Sainz starting from the first position. We wait for you!

“It was a lot of fun, but complicated by the wind, each corner is an adventure because you don’t know what to expect. I was able to do a pole without making mistakes, a pole that had been ready for a long time, but I didn’t finish arriving”, he explained. Sainz.

“For tomorrow the Red Bulls are favourites, they have better race pace and normally catch up with us, but we will do everything possible to be ahead tomorrow to win,” added the Spaniard.

“Obviously it’s very difficult with the wind, because it changes from one lap to the next. Sainz has done a great lap and he deserves pole position. Tomorrow I’ll start a little further back with the penalty, but a good classification”, explained Leclerc.

“We started eleventh. I will give everything. I will not take crazy risks, but if there is an opportunity I will be there to take it,” added the Monegasque.

“We have tried to give everything in qualifying, but we have lacked a bit… we still have the race ahead of us. Our car in the race is usually somewhat stronger than in qualifying, there have been few differences, we are there and I expect a good race tomorrow,” Verstappen assured after qualifying.

The Dutchman has finished third, but with Leclerc’s penalty, he will start second.

Saaainz poleman! Verstappen can not with the Ferrari and remains third. Sainz achieves pole with Leclerc second. Alonso has finished ninth.

Leclerc shoots! It does not seem that there will be slipstreams between the Ferrari.

In the absence of 2 minutes 40 seconds, they all go out on the track with new softs.

Verstappen is out now! There are still more than four minutes left, still a long time. It seems that the Dutchman does not want to risk mistakes or traffic and he starts first.

The clock starts running. Q1 is underway. At the moment, calm in the circuit of the Americas. The Willimians, Mick Schumacher and Zhou are on the track.

Verstappen already warned in Free Practice 3. He has won the championship but does not relax. The Dutchman aims to achieve pole, something that he will have to fight with Carlos Sainz. Leclerc has been penalized with 10 positions on the grid so we could see slipstreams.

Dietrich Mateschitz, founder of Red Bull, has died at the age of 78 after battling a long terminal illness that had kept him away from public life for the last year.

Red Bull were singled out for having exceeded the budget ceiling, something that is illegal, especially if that means help on the asphalt.

The FIA ​​decided to grant the Austrian team a conciliation agreement that, moreover, is secret. The grill does not agree and, on the part of the fans, there is also a lot of discontent with this.

Red Bull still does not accept the conditions. They claim they had “zero benefits from a development perspective or an operational perspective.”

Álex Palou has officially made his debut in Formula 1. The United States GP has been the opportunity for both him and other young drivers to make their debut.

The IndyCar champion in 2021, dressed in orange to compete in Free Practice 1 of the Circuit of the Americas with McLaren, a session in which he left no one indifferent.

Théo Pourchaire, Logan Sargeant and Robert Shwartzman are the other drivers who have also made their F1 debuts in Austin.

The Ferrari driver has also received a penalty, although in his case it is 10 positions. Leclerc mounts a new internal combustion engine and a brand new turbo.

The team has made this decision on a circuit where it is relatively easy to overtake and which will allow it to have practically a new power unit until the end of the season.

Fernando Alonso is going to have to fight if he wants a good result. Qualifying position is going to be key. The Asturian driver has been sanctioned with five positions on the starting grid after changing the internal combustion engine.

Thus, you need to rank as high as possible to minimize the damage from this penalty. At least the Circuit of the Americas is a track where it is common to see overtaking.

The classification of the United States GP starts at 00:00 Spanish time, a day that we are going to live here minutes minutes.

On television it will be seen on ‘DAZN’.

The Dutchman managed to set the fastest lap in the closing seconds of the session. Leclerc was second and Sainz third. The Spaniard went wide in a corner and had to abort the last attempt.

Alonso has been sixth.

Hi how are things? Sooooo good afternoon and welcome to another weekend to our live broadcast of the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship. This time we return to the United States, to Texas, a date in which, although we already have a champion, many things remain to be decided.

So everyone pay attention because… Let’s start!!
