F1 will return to the track with the final sprint race of the 2022 season at the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend.
Going into the 21st round of racing and the penultimate race of the 2022 championship season, Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton are hoping to secure their first win.
With the Brackley-based team improving the W13 in the last two races, we might witness a tooth-and-nail battle between Mercedes and Red Bull, the latter being dominant all season.

Will Lewis Hamilton clinch the victory at Brazilian Grand Prix?
7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton made the 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix one of the most memorable races with his magical drive from the back of the grid to P5 in the Sprint race and then his glorious victory on the race day.
However, while the W12 in the 2021 season provided the Briton with a magnificent pace to be involved in an intense battle, the W13 in 2022 has served as a disappointment.
Hamilton is yet to secure a victory in the current season and going into the penultimate racing weekend, there is a bit of hope that the Briton might shoot back to the front as the car has shown positive improvement in the last two races.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if Mercedes will be able to compete with Red Bull.
