Here we go: the 2022 F1 season is about to end. It's just missing a race at the end, that of Abu Dhabi After this last GP, the top category of Motorsport will stop up to March, month of first date on track in Bahrain. The last weekend of the year will feature very many young people who will take to the track in FP1 but, taking a look at the race, the first one has already been made official penalty.
Abu Dhabi, 3 penalty positions for Ricciardo
During the first lap of the 71 made in the Brazilian GP, precisely in turn 8, Daniel Ricciardo, with his McLaren, has hit it the right rear of Kevin Magnussen. The Dane was the great protagonist of the Brazilian weekend afterwards la pole of Friday. The pilot Haas it obviously ended up in spin and, in an attempt to get back to straight steering, he in turn caught the Australian. An accident resulted from this dynamic that forced both to retire. Daniel's car number 3 is certainly to blame and the marshals had opened a file on this event. This dynamic has in fact been discussed after the checkered flag.
The FIA motivation
Finally, it was decided to punish him with one penalty of 3 positions on the starting grid in Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This incident is another piece that adds to the bad season of the second driver of the English team who, in these two years at McLaren, it was never the same as the years in Red Bull and, moreover, they were taken from him 2 points from the Superlicence FIA. The remaining points are only 4, but they won't be a problem for him because, with almost total certainty now, at one race at the end of the world championship, we can state that Daniel Ricciardo will not have a seat for next year and, in conclusion, we won't see him racing an F1 car next year.
