F1 2022 US GP results

Sainz’s first accident and Alonso’s accident

In the US they wanted the show. and they had it. The Texas stands were filled with an audience devoted to the sport that conquered the country. Brad Pitt, Ed Sheeran, and multiple personalities were there, with presentations on track from NBA “All-Star” pilots, charleaders, cowboys, and interpretations of the American national anthem while the public waited. You couldn’t miss it. Hot dogs and Tex-Mex in hand and the race is on.

The off-piste show is over. Race was missing. There was something the Americans really liked: an accident and a contact, both of which hurt the Spaniard. And Alonso, who was completely revived, was in 8th place and tried to take 7th place, but the movement was slow in the middle of the Canadian straight and he collided with Stroll. Cars from Oviedo rose several meters, but were able to continue.

Mistakes between Max and Red Bull

All that was missing was an exciting fight for victory. Last year Austin shook with a great showdown between Verstappen and Hamilton. With Carlos out, both were destined for his first and his second from the start, but the race looked to be in control for the Dutchman. Already a two-time world champion, he didn’t seem worried even with his two ‘safety cars’ out on the track. However, there was a script twist that gave the public the spicy ending they wanted.

Just like in the westerns, Max, aka “The Sheriff,” got into trouble when it seemed like he had everything under control. He lost five bullets from his revolver on his last stop. Red Bull, the best team in the pit stops, went wrong this time as they had a problem with the front left wheel gun. The outage lasted 11 seconds. disaster. This effectively demoted Verstappen to his fifth position in third, leaving Hamilton in the lead when Perez and Vettel stopped. Max started seven seconds behind Lewis behind Charles Leclerc, who was able to move up to second after benefiting from a free stop for the ‘safety car’ ahead.

“Nice, very nice,” Max said sarcastically, raging on the radio for his unfair comments against Red Bull, who handed him the title on the plate with the best car and a perfect race on the rest of the track. His engineer reminded him: Keep your head down and keep going. ”

There was still a bullet in Verstappen’s chamber. He was wounded and tried his best with a knife between his teeth. First, he had to furious and work hard to pass Leclerc after a great fight that gave Hamilton some wings. And after that he went to Lewis. With his nine laps to go, Maz was two seconds behind him on medium tyres, one lap younger than Lewis’ hard rubber. i was going to try it. Things were so tight that it was due to be decided as the best Western, the current ruler of F1 and the former ‘sheriff’ of the county.

Max Attacks Hamilton

With six laps to go, Max was already an inch and six behind. He had the upper hand, especially since he had much better straight-line speed. When he was able to open the DRS his car would be a plane. rocket. With six laps to go, Verstappen’s first chance came on lap 50.

Midway down the straight he caught the Englishman’s slipstream, jumped off the house and passed Lewis braking. invited him in. Max thus emerged victorious, suffering more than expected, but he lived up to all expectations.

Verstappen thus continues to have the record for most race wins in a year, matching Schumacher’s and Vettel’s record of 13 wins in the same year. To achieve this, you must acquire the remaining three of him. With the plane you drive, it’s possible. Next on the schedule is Mexico, where team-mate Czech, who finished 4th, is dreaming of playing at home.

Alonso’s irrational comeback

Alonso seemed to have lost any chance of scoring points on lap 22. He had had a very good race, starting 14th and 11th on lap two. He started taking more risks on the hard rubber and was setting a good pace. Luck seemed to be on his side, even though he was able to take advantage of the ‘safety car’ for a free stop on lap 18.

Behind him, a younger average rubber, a relaunched rubber, he went all out. He overtook Gasly and was already eighth. The next stop was Lance Stroll, who will be his sidekick in 2023. The man from Oviedo caught his aspirations, got out of it, and when he had already turned his nose to Lance’s rear wheel level, the Canadian was too late and caused a serious accident.

The Asturian car rose from the front and traveled several meters in this manner until it hit the wall laterally. The most surprising thing is that despite the flight and the blows, it confirmed that the Asturian was able to continue. He stopped in the pits to change the nose and it looked like the race was lost for him.

His car was damaged and the mirrors wouldn’t stop moving and he fell. He did it in one of the ensuing overtakes by Alonso, furious at what had happened, giving an incomprehensible recital for a reason. After his accident, Alonso was 16th.

From there, a spectacular come-from-behind play began, and with a few laps to go, he moved up to 6th. Finally, Norris was able to catch up with him. With his 12-lap tires new, he was able to catch up to him with little degradation and take his sixth place from him. But at the time it didn’t matter. Alonso was giving a masterclass. He was 7th, definitely without today’s driver, but He finished without points after being penalized between 15 and 30 seconds after protests by the Haas team about the safety of his car.
