Standings 2022
The new Formula 1 season is well underway as Max Verstappen prepares to defend his world championship.
Red Bull’s Verstappen won the title in the most dramatic of circumstances as he overcame seven-time champion Hamilton in the final lap of the last Grand Prix of the previous campaign.

But it was Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc who started the new campaign in fine form, taking an early lead in the standings with victories in Bahrain and Australia.
However since then, Verstappen has replaced it with five wins in the first eight races.
Meanwhile, Hamilton has yet to win a race, in which his teammate George Russell beat him in the current Mercedes car.
The grid is now ready to move to Red Bull’s homeland for the Austrian Grand Prix.
Halo
Halo is a driver crash-protection system used in the open-wheel racing series, in which a curved bar is placed to protect the driver’s head.

The first tests of Halo were conducted in 2016 and July 2017. Since the 2018 season, the FIA has made the halo mandatory on every vehicle in Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3, Formula Regional, Formula E and Formula 4. A new safety measure.[1] Some other open-wheel racing series also use Halo, such as the IndyCar Series, Indy Lights, Super Formula, Super Formula Lights, EuroFormula Open and the Australian S5000. The IndyCar Halo is used as a structural frame for the aeroscreen.
Qualifying results
The track remained wet as Leclerc set the bar at 1m50.297 as Verstappen spun on his first flying lap. Zhou Guanyue (Alfa Romeo) briefly grabbed P1 with 1m49.454 before Fernando Alonso (Alpine) took it to 1m46.227s.
Sainz set up 1m46.098s before Leclerc beat him to P1 on 1m44.844s. Verstappen took P2 at the club before getting together and taking pole with 1m42.996s despite a trip over the curb. Leclerc went P2, down a quarter of a second, and just 0.004s ahead of Hamilton.
As track conditions improved, Sainz and Leclerc took over the top, before Verstappen reset the bar to 1m41.055s.
As the flag flew, Sainz grabbed P1 with a 1m40.983s, as Verstappen could not improve on his final lap due to the yellow flag after Leclerc turned around. Sergio Perez finished fourth for Red Bull with his last lap attempt, ahead of Hamilton, Lando Norris (McLaren), Alonso, Russell, Zhou and Nicolas Latifi (Williams).
Car top speed
For drivers and fans around the world, it is particularly speed that provides the greatest attraction. And the same is true in almost every series of motorsport.
Rivalry, talent, victories and heartbreak also keep fans coming back for more, but the sheer adrenaline of driving the cars as fast as they can is perhaps the most intoxicating element of all.
Different series have very different top speeds based on their power, aerodynamics and technology. Even the commitment of individual drivers – figuring out how to brake late – plays a part.
Then you have to take into account the nature of the track itself: Le Mans is a very different prospect to the Monaco Grand Prix, just as the Indy 500 is a world different from the Monte Carlo rally.
