Part 2 of Formula 1 2022 Season Review (Top Formula 1 drivers of 2022 and final thoughts of Formula 1 2022)

Second part of my Formula 1 2022 Season Review, this post will includes my top 12 Formula 1 drivers of 2022. And my final thoughts of Formula 1 2022.



Starting of with My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2022, this is the part who was in my top 12 this season, not in championship order, not in championship order, so his list doesn't includes the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Pierre Gasly or Alexander Albon to name a few, its just only opinion folks.

Anyway, here is my list below.

My Top Formula 1 drivers of 2022:

12. Kevin Magnussen (Haas) - Some impressive performances on his return to F1 this season, which includes a fifth place finish at Bahrain, and a pole postion at Sao Paulo.

11. Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) - Final F1 season, impressive second half of the season includes sixth place finishes at Baku and Suzuka.

10. Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo) - Some impressive performances this season, which includes a fifth place finish at Imola and sixth place finishes at Bahrain and Barcalona.

9. Estiban Ocon (Alpine) - Like his team-mate fast and reliable, some impressive performances this season, which include a fifth place finish at the Red Bull Ring and a fourth place finish at Suzuka.

8. Lando Norris (McLaren) - Consistently fast, which include a third place finish at Imola.

7. Fernando Alonso (Alpine) - Despite his past 41, his still fast and reliable, which include a fifth place finishes at Silverstone, Spa and Sao Paulo.

6. Carlos Sainz, Jr. (Ferrari) - Some impressive performances so far this season, which includes a Grand Prix win at Silverstone.

5. Sir Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - Some impressive drives this season despite not having a great car under him, which include two second place finished from Sir Lewis Hamilton at Paul Ricard, Hunganoring, Austin, Mexico City and Sao Paulo, could have won races at Austin and Sao Paulo.

4. Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) - Some impressive performances this season, consistently fast which includes Grand Prix wins at Monaco and Singapore.

3. George Russell (Mercedes) - Consistently fast and reliable, which include six third place finishes, seocnd place finish at Zandvoort, a pole postion at the Hunganoring, and a Grnad Prix win at Sao Paulo.

2. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) - Consistently fast where the car doesn't deserve, three Grand Prix wins, some impressive wins at Bahrian, Melbourne and the Red Bull Ring; he should have won more this season but due to unreliable car at Barcalona and Baku; poor tyre strategies at Monaco, Silverstone, the Hunganoring and Monza.

1. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) - Best driver on the grid this season so far, with fifteen Grand Prix wins this season to concluded with his second drivers' championship.

Overall, possibly one of the most dominating seasons I have seen in Formula 1 despite it doesn't look like in times, seventeen Grand Prix wins out of twenty-two wins from Red Bull which include five one-two finishes to conclude winning their fifth F1 Constructors' Championship their first since 2013 ending Mercedes eight Constractors' Championships wins in a row.

While in the Drivers' Championship it was Max Verstappen to win of winning fifteen Grand Prixs' in a record breaking season, to win this seasons Drivers' Championship for his second F1 Drivers' title to conclude Formula 1 in 2022.




Bring on Formula 1 2023. Stay safe everyone.
