After the penultimate race in Belgium has been canceled due to the contagion situation, the final is scheduled for 12-13 December at the German Nürburgring.

But the uncertain world situation and increased spread of infection in Germany make it difficult for the FIA ​​and the promoter IMG to get a safe competition.

According to SVT Sport's experience, there is already a decision and that it will be announced to teams and drivers later this afternoon.

- We will see what they have to say, states the double world champion.

Already this afternoon, Kristoffersson can celebrate a third World Cup gold.

The world champion from 2017 and 2018 took a break last year when Volkswagen's factory stable withdrew from the championship.

This year, Värmland has dominated the World Cup series and leads the championship by a full 27 points ahead of Mattias Ekström, world champion in 2016. Third is the reigning world champion Timmy Hansen.

An all-Swedish prize podium can become a reality later this afternoon.
