The last sprint race of the Formula 1 season. The penultimate weekend of competition of the course. The Great Circus comes to an end in 2022 and it does so in Interlagos, in the Brazilian Grand Prix.
This Saturday will run that sprint race that has raised so many blisters. the current champion, Max Verstappenhas been very critical with a format in which almost no one risks because there is more to lose than to win.
It will be 24 laps at the José Carlos Pace Autodrome or one hour, maximum. The winner will add eight points and will score up to the eighth classified. The grid, marked by Friday’s classification.
And if anyone is looked at with a magnifying glass in these formats, it has been Fernando Alonso. Both last year and the present he has always been the most active rider on these Saturdays, with many overtaking.
Carlos Sainz, for its part, will sanction this weekend. Although that sanction will be for the race on Sunday and not for the sprint on Saturday. The Ferrari man hopes to regain confidence and have a quiet weekend to compete again.
There are no big things left to be decided in this F1 World Cup. Verstappen is already champion and Red Bull, also in the constructors’ world championship. All the ‘salseo’ is behind and the fights between Mercedes and Ferrari, in addition to Alonso’s with Stephen Ocon.
