F1 Drivers’ Championship 2022: Latest standings and results after the Spanish Grand Prix

Max Verstappen took the lead of the Formula One Drivers’ Championship after leading a Red Bull one-two in the Spanish Grand Prix.

Charles Leclerc looked set for a comfortable victory in Barcelona after Verstappen hit the gravel early on yet his Ferrari power unit gave way to bring about a sudden retirement.

Sergio Perez followed through before George Russell maintained his strong start to life in the Mercedes with third.

Despite an early puncture, Lewis Hamilton fought back to fourth with a late overtake on Carlos Sainz.
