Formula 1 is preparing for the last back to back which will close the 2022 season, with a sprint weekend in Brazil from 11 to 13 November and with the grand finale in Abu Dhabi on 20 November. The two World Cups have already been assigned but there is waiting to find out if these last two appointments will also end with one Red Bull on the top step of the podium, or if there will be an opportunity for a victory for Ferrari o Mercedes, still dry.
The latest winner in Brazil is his own Lewis Hamilton, who came close to the top in the last two Grands Prix. Over the course of the season, the team was able to work on a "wrong" basic project, arriving at the final version with the last big update to Austin. The points of difference with Ferrari are 40, a gap that the Maranello team wants to protect at the cost of sacrificing engine power. In Brazil, there will also be Interlagos on the last weekend sprint of the season. More points are then added up for grabs. Although there's still a week to go, the F1 organizational machine is already at work. The teams are arriving at Interlagos with the first pieces. Everything usually proceeds in complete tranquility but the political and social situation in Brazil threatens to upset the plans for the preparation of the weekend.
Brazil, riots and riots for the elections
There is concern in the country about the unrest caused by the outcome of the presidential elections, which are undermining mobility especially in Brazil. Over 200 roadblocks, demonstrations, the fact that the incumbent president, Jair Bolsonaro, of the Liberal Party has not yet "admitted" defeat, has generated various riots by his supporters. There are also fears that the situation could escalate and lead to violence. This is having repercussions, in part also on the organizational machine of Formula 1. According to local sources, a truck carrying equipment from Ferrari and possibly other Formula 1 teams remained bloccato. The vehicles would then have managed to get to Interlagos but the alarm remains and there is concern about the additional logistical disruption this situation could bring, and the security risks.
