2022 Formula One World Championship

Max Verstappen (pictured in 2017) won his second consecutive World Drivers' Championship driving for Red Bull Racing.

Charles Leclerc (pictured in 2020) finished runner-up, driving for Ferrari after leading the championship early in the season.

Verstappen's teammate Sergio Pérez (pictured in 2021) was third, driving for Red Bull Racing.

Red Bull Racing won their fifth World Constructors' Championship and first since 2013 with the RB18.

Ferrari finished second in the World Constructors' Championship with their F1-75.

Defending champions Mercedes-Benz ended the F1 Constructors' competition only third with their W13, after winning eight straight constructors' titles (2014–2021).

The 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship was a motor racing championship for Formula One cars, which was the 73rd running of the Formula One World Championship. It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship was contested over twenty-two Grands Prix, which were held around the world, and ended earlier than in recent years to avoid overlapping with the FIFA World Cup.

Drivers and teams competed for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion, respectively. The 2022 championship saw the introduction of significant changes to the sport's technical regulations with ground effect aerodynamics reintroduced on Formula One cars for the first time since 1982. These changes had been intended to be introduced in 2021, but were delayed until 2022 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Max Verstappen, who was the reigning Drivers' Champion, claimed his second title at the Japanese Grand Prix, while his team, Red Bull Racing, won their fifth World Constructor Championship at the following United States Grand Prix, their first since 2013, becoming the first team other than Mercedes to do so in the turbo-hybrid era. Defending Constructors' Champions Mercedes fell to a distant third, only winning a single race in São Paulo after struggling to adapt to the new regulations.

This was the final season for four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel. Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton endured a difficult season with Mercedes, securing neither a pole position nor a Grand Prix win for the first time in his Formula One career since it began in 2007.
