Yeah, that caught me out when they did the first sprint race. They don't get an extra show on a Friday, they recap quali before they show the sprint on Saturday evening.Are Channel 4 showing highlights of qualifying or just the sprint & main race? Can't see it on my TV guide.
The importance of timing. And VER made a mistake on his lap.WTF happened ? How’d he do that?
Keep wearing it every race, every season. Help Max get more WDC.My wife bought me a Mercedes F1 top for my birthday yesterday, which was apparently enough to jinx qualifying and put George in the gravel. Sorry, George!

Esteban Ocon led the way in the second and final free practice session of the São Paulo Grand Prix as teams did their homework ahead of the third and final sprint race of the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season on Saturday afternoon. With times meaning very little due to cars being in parc ferme conditions and most of the running being done on higher fuel levels, Ocon set the best time of 1:14.604 in his BWT Alpine F1 Team A522 to best Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Sergio Pérez by just under two tenths of a second. It was quite a clean session, with the odd lock up here and there, but everyone got through unscathed ahead of the twenty-four lap Sprint race later in the day, and the promised rain never materialised, although is still a possibility for the race. George Russell, who will start third on the grid for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team on Saturday afternoon despite ending his Qualifying in the turn four gravel, placed third, with Fernando Alonso showing that Alpine have a good set-up for this part of the weekend by setting the fourth best time. Max Verstappen, who is aiming for a fifteenth win of the season on Sunday, was fifth in the second Red Bull having left it late to switch to the soft tyres, with the team focusing on gathering data on the harder compounds that will help them across Saturday’s Sprint and Sunday’s main race at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. Lewis Hamilton was sixth in the second Mercedes ahead of Scuderia AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly, while Mick Schumacher finished eighth ahead of his b team-mate, and surprise Sprint race polesitter, Kevin Magnussen. Lando Norris, who is still in recovery mode after a bout of food poisoning ahead of the weekend in Brazil, completed the top ten for the McLaren F1 Team, with the Briton finishing just ahead of his former team-mate Carlos Sainz Jr., the Spaniard the best of the Scuderia Ferrari drivers in eleventh. Yuki Tsunoda was twelfth for AlphaTauri ahead of the second Ferrari of Charles Leclerc, with Daniel Ricciardo fourteenth in the second McLaren ahead of Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN’s Valtteri Bottas. Nicholas Latifi placed sixteenth for Williams Racing, while Logan Sargeant completed another clean session as he replaced Alexander Albon in the second FW44. Sargeant may have finished bottom of the timing screens, but he completed the necessary number of laps to gain another point for his Superlicence as he bids to earn a place on the Formula 1 grid in 2023. The Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team had a busy session as both Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel completed more than forty laps each, but they were only seventeenth and eighteenth respectively, ahead only of Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu and rookie Sargeant. Not much can be read into the results, and with a mixed up grid and a new pole sitter, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in the final sprint race of the season. Can Magnussen hold onto the lead into turn one and fight off the challenges from behind. It’s going to be interesting to find out. 2022 FIA Formula 1 São Paulo Grand Prix – Free Practice 2 1 Esteban Ocon Alpine/Renault 11:14.604 28 207.929 2 Sergio Pérez Red Bull 11:14.788 0.184 36 207.418 3 George Russell Mercedes 11:14.916 0.312 31 207.063 4 Fernando Alonso Alpine/Renault 11:15.049 0.445 29 206.696 5 Max Verstappen Red Bull 11:15.098 0.494 30 206.562 6 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes 11:15.137 0.533 33 206.454 7 Pierre Gasly AlphaTauri/Red Bull 11:15.636 1.032 32 205.092 8 Mick Schumacher Haas/Ferrari 11:15.684 1.080 40 204.962 9 Kevin Magnussen Haas/Ferrari 11:15.815 1.211 38 204.608 10 Lando Norris McLaren/Mercedes 11:15.851 1.247 25 204.511 11 Carlos Sainz Ferrari 11:15.856 1.252 38 204.497 12 Yuki Tsunoda AlphaTauri/Red Bull 11:15.865 1.261 32 204.473 13 Charles Leclerc Ferrari 11:15.868 1.264 37 204.465 14 Daniel Ricciardo McLaren/Mercedes 11:15.994 1.390 28 204.126 15 Valtteri Bottas Alfa Romeo/Ferrari 11:16.047 1.443 34 203.984 16 Nicholas Latifi Williams/Mercedes 11:16.181 1.577 34 203.625 17 Lance Stroll Aston Martin/Mercedes 11:16.263 1.659 43 203.406 18 Sebastian Vettel Aston Martin/Mercedes 11:16.400 1.796 44 203.041 19 Zhou Guanyu Alfa Romeo/Ferrari 11:16.468 1.864 37 202.861 20 Logan Sargeant Williams/Mercedes 11:16.480 1.876 28 202.829 | |||||||
