Who is leading the 2022 F1 World Championship Drivers’ points?
Red Bull’s reigning champion Verstappen scored a maximum 26 points at Spa-Francorchamps and his lead in the World Championship is up to 93 over teammate Sergio Perez, who moves into second over Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. The Ferrari driver suffered another troubled race and could only finish sixth after a late penalty for speeding in the pits as he attempted to grab the point for fastest lap.
Leclerc is now 98 points behind Verstappen. Carlos Sainz’s third place in Belgium moves him back ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell – but only by one point. His teammate Lewis Hamilton’s first-lap exit has dropped him 24 points behind Russell.
