Formula 1’s Sprint format will be deployed for the third and final time in 2022 at this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix, adding another element to the mix at the famous Interlagos circuit.
Max Verstappen arrives looking to extend his record of 14 victories in a season, but the Red Bull team have been pushed hard by Mercedes at the last two races, while Ferrari will be eager to bounce back from a lacklustre showing in Mexico.
Brazil also hosted a Sprint last year, when Lewis Hamilton – amid his fierce title battle with Verstappen – sensationally recovered from the back of the grid to victory across the 100km dash and main Grand Prix.
