“Brazil is a sprint race weekend, which adds extra excitement for fans and teams. This comes with a few challenges that we need to prepare for, such as one less test session and considering the spare parts we will need at the circuit with the increased risk of damage. However, it is also an opportunity to collect some additional points essential for the championship. »

The only driver present at Interlagos this Thursday therefore, Daniel Ricciardo wants to finish the 2022 season with his head held high. “I am very happy to go to the São Paulo circuit. The crowd is great, especially with the carnival atmosphere around the track, which is always fun. It's a great circuit to drive with the banking and camber changes, so it should make for an interesting race, and a good weekend for the fans, especially with the Sprint on Saturday.

Coming off a strong result in Mexico (7e), I am in a good mood, and we will try to build on this dynamic for the last two events. »
