F1 World Championship points after the 2022 Mexican GP
Max Verstappen scored a record 14th race win of the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship season in Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez to extend his points advantage.
Behind Red Bull Racing’s two-time champion, both of Ferrari’s drivers lost positions in the points table after a lacklustre race for the Scuderia.
Who is leading the 2022 F1 World Championship Drivers' points?
Verstappen scored 25 points in Mexico, as his teammate Sergio Perez rose to second in points with two races remaining, albeit 136 points behind.
Perez’s third place propelled him ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who could only finish sixth in Mexico, by five points.
Mercedes’ George Russell kept his fourth place in points, aided by an extra mark for fastest lap, as teammate Lewis Hamilton’s runner-up spot moved him ahead of Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz into fifth by four points. Russell is now 15 points ahead of his seven-time champion stablemate.
Lando Norris (McLaren) scored a brace of points to keep him ahead of Alpine’s Esteban Ocon in seventh in points, albeit by a reduced margin of 29 points.
Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas scored his first point in 10 races, while Daniel Ricciardo (McLaren) moves to within a point of former teammate Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) for 11th in the standings, after his late-race heroics netted him seventh position in Mexico.
