F1 Schedule 2022: Calendar, race results and driver standings

Max Verstappen cruised to victory at the French Grand Prix after title rival Charles Leclerc crashed out of contention on lap 18 while leading the race. 

Verstappen had pitted a lap earlier, so as others ducked into the pits under safety car conditions for fresh tyres the defending champion took the lead.

The grand prix resumed on lap 22 with Lewis Hamilton tucked in second place and that 1-2 pairing was maintained throughout the remainder of the race, Verstappen taking the chequered flag over 10 seconds ahead of the Mercedes ace. 

Hamilton's team-mate George Russell stole third from Red Bull's Sergio Perez on lap 50, with a better response to the end of a virtual safety car. The Brit held on to claim the last place on the podium by just 0.8seconds. 

Verstappen increased his championship lead to 63 points ahead of Leclerc, who took full responsibility for his early exit by citing driver error rather than a fault with his Ferrari. 

There were 23 grand prix races scheduled for the 2022 Formula 1 season, from the opening night in Bahrain on March 20 to the season finale in Abu Dhabi on November 20. 

This was reduced to 22 after the cancellation of the Russian Grand Prix, following the invasion of Ukraine. Although there were initial attempts to fill the September 25 date with an alternative, It was decided that the event wouldn't be replaced in 2022's calendar and Russia would no longer be used as a host for F1 racing. 

It is the 73rd season of motorsport’s premier event with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen the man to beat after his inaugural win in the 2021 drivers’ championship.

The season will finish earlier than last year so as not to clash with the 2022 Fifa World Cup, which begins on November 21 in Qatar.
