For the penultimate race of the season, F1 is heading to São Paulo for the 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix. With Max Verstappen and Red Bull already crowned world champions of the season, the battle for second between Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc continues to intensify. With a mere five points separating the two in favor of the Mexican in the drivers' standings, this is one of several battles across the grid to watch out for at the upcoming GP.
The 2022 F1 Brazilian GP is also the final race of the season to feature the sprint race format that was introduced last year. This GP is also the only one to host sprint races for two years consecutively. The Imola and the Austrian GPs have seen two other sprint races this season.
Lewis Hamilton had a brilliant outing at Interlagos last year, where he made an epic recovery after starting the race from the back of the grid to eventually secure one of his most impressive victories so far. His special relationship with the country and the GP in general offers hope for a potential victory for Mercedes this weekend, something that the team has been relentlessly chasing all year long. With only two races remaining this year, the Silver Arrows continue to fight for their first win in 2022.
