2022 FIA Formula One World Championship
The 2022 season saw the arrival of a new generation of cars, designed to allow for even closer racing. Ferrari initially took full advantage, with Charles Leclerc returning the Scuderia to winning ways, but their title challenge ultimately faded in the face of a relentless Max Verstappen and Red Bull team, who secured their first championship double since 2013. Mercedes were the only other team to win a race, but it was George Russell who took a celebrated maiden victory, as team mate Lewis Hamilton failed to top a podium for the first time in his illustrious F1 career.
