Formula 1 closes for this 2022. A year in which max verstappen has confirmed his candidacy to become one of the best pilots in history. He has already accumulated two consecutive World Cups and in this one he has had no rival.
Abu Dhabi is the scene of the last race of the season. The competition arrives very different this year with respect to the past. In 2021 everything was decided in that race. Specifically in the last lap of the race (Verstappen passed Lewis Hamilton.)
Few things remain to be decided in the classification. Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc fight for the runner-up Carlos Sainz wants to end the year with a good taste in his mouth. In Brazil he was again on the podium ahead of his teammate.
With respect to Fernando Alonso, he has an important fight left: to overcome Esteban Ocon in the drivers’ classification. For this he needs a result like the one in the last race (he was fifth and his teammate eighth).
But the Asturian is already looking askance at the tests that will be held in Abu Dhabi. They will be right after the weekend. The first time you get behind the wheel of the Aston Martin. Although, yes, a very different car from the one he will drive next season.
says goodbye Sebastian Vettel, quite a four-time F1 champion. I’m sure the grid will do a great tribute to him once he crosses the finish line in Abu Dhabi.
