Red Bull is still looking for a 1-2 finish in the points standings.
Max Verstappen cruised to his 15th Formula 1 win of the season in the season finale at Abu Dhabi as Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc used a one-stop pit strategy to hold off Sergio Perez for second in the race and second in the points standings.
Leclerc’s pace stabilized on his older tires and Ferrari elected to keep him out on track behind Verstappen, who also just pitted once. And while Perez charged towards Leclerc in the final laps, he was still over a second behind Leclerc at the checkered flag. Since Leclerc scored three more points than Perez by virtue of finishing second, it's important to note that Verstappen's refusal to pull over for Perez at Brazil ultimately didn't matter.
Hamilton was likely to finish fifth before his car had mechanical problems. Instead, he finished out of the points with his first mechanical failure of the season. The problem also ensured that Hamilton finished the 2022 season without a win. It’s the first time in Hamilton’s career that he’s been winless and without a pole position during a season. That futility was due to a Mercedes car that was not nearly as good as Red Bull or Ferrari at the start of the season.
