F1 Standings after 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix

Charles Leclerc was head and shoulders above the rest at the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix, converting his pole position into a victory for Ferrari, who also had Carlos Sainz finish second, as they claimed maximum points. So how do the F1 Drivers’ Championship standings look?

World champion Max Verstappen was second on the grid and spend the majority of the Bahrain GP behind Leclerc, except for a brief period after the first round of pit stops. However, the Dutchman developed a steering issue with his car late in the race, before a fuel pump issue forced him to retire. 

Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull spun under pressure from Lewis Hamilton, before also retiring with the same problem, meaning the Mercedes bagged the third podium spot. Leclerc also took fastest lap at the Bahrain International Circuit.
