Live: F1 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Qualifying

It is advantage Sergio Perez going into the final Formula 1 qualifying session of 2022 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver pipped teammate Max Verstappen to P1 in third practice by 0.052s, with Lewis Hamilton lurking close behind.

However, the seven-time champion could be facing a grid drop for a red flag infringement after passing cars while it was flying. A three-place grid drop is the usual penalty.

Elsewhere, Daniel Ricciardo heads into what could be his final qualifying with a three-place grid drop while Sebastian Vettel will try to find a way to claim a 54th pole in what is definitely his last Saturday as an F1 driver.

Vettel was 'coming alive' in final F1 qualifying

Image
Sebastian Vettel was "coming alive" in Abu Dhabi Grand Prix qualifying, as he will line up ninth for his final ever Formula 1 race. Four-time World Champion Vettel escaped Q1 in the dying stages at Yas Marina and was able to advance through to Q3. Using only one set of new Slot tyres, Vettel's effort was quick enough for seventh, but was later shuffled down to P9, and will start alongside old rival Fernando Alonso once Daniel Ricciardo's grid penalty was applied.

Ecclestone in court for fraud pre-trial hearing

Former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has arrived in court in London for the latest hearing ahead of his fraud criminal trial later this year. Ecclestone, 92, served as F1 CEO, stepping down when Liberty Media took control of the series in late 2016, being given the title 'chairman emeritus'. United Kingdom tax authorities His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have alleged that Ecclestone failed to declare more than $400 million held in a trust fund in Singapore. He faces one case of fraud by false representation between June 2013 and October 2016, and although he is yet to enter a plea, it is expected Ecclestone is to plead not guilty. He was joined at the pre- trial hearing at London's Southwark Crown Court by wife Fabiana, with the hearing being overseen by Mr Justice Bryan. The trial has been set for November 16, 2023 with a further hearing set for June 2023, with Ecclestone remaining on bail. Source: https://th...

Liberty: US F1 races will become 'distinctive' over time

Image
Each Formula 1 Grand Prix in the United States will find their "distinctiveness" over time, according to Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei with three races in 2023. Under the ownership of Liberty Media, F1 has experienced a boom in popularity in the US - a market the series has long craved a foothold in, with the Miami Grand Prix joining the calendar in 2022 to supplement the official United States Grand Prix in Austin. For 2023, another race will be held in America as F1 returns to Las Vegas for a Saturday night primetime race on the strip. It will be only the second time in the history of the World Championship that one country has held three races in a calendar year, although the Monza, Mugello and Imola races in Italy in 2020 was due to the COVID-19 pandemic and not through targeted expansion. And Maffei believes that the three races will eventually carve themselves out their USPs. Viewed by others: ...
