However, Hinwil’s team returned to Mexico City at 2,200 meters with optimistic statements. Of course, the ninth World Cup does not want to lose hope in the last 1500 km.
Williams: ‘We can do it’
But when the eighth World Cup finals on the island, coach Just Capito is convinced: “We will take the initiative to the end.” At Budapest & Spa, Williams overtook Alfa-Sauber and left Alfa-Sauber twice with 10 World Championship points each.
It was an eight million dollar exploit. In terms of prize money in 2021, that’s roughly the difference between eighth and ninth places. And now it comes to this treasure.
Alfa-Sauber President Vasseur: “Unfortunately we were eleventh six times in 2021. But we can still score points in all five races!” But Williams can do that, especially with future Mercedes business driver George Russell (22).
We hope for a Brazilian miracle
The next race in Brazil is also a peak storm at over 700 metres. Then all you have to do is go to sea in the desert: Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi.
Especially the Interlagos track near Sao Paulo brings back memories of the last dance there in 2019. He shocked Raikkonen (fourth) and Giovinazzi (fifth) with 22 points in the World Cup. Best counted result ever.
Of course, a double win in Montreal in 2008 (Kubica ahead of Heidfeld) would have been better rewarded with 43 points according to today’s points system.
Until the last turn…
Kimi Raikkonen: “Hopefully we can score again in Mexico. But hardly any other road is as slippery as it is here!”
Antonio Giovinazzi: “In Mexico, the fans are the stars. This gives everyone more energy. The spirit in the team is still very high, and we are all pushing in the same direction – and fighting to the last corner in Abu Dhabi!”
The Italian may have already forgotten to ignore stalling requests in Turkey – and the final corner on December 12 in Abu Dhabi will likely be his last in F1.
