F1 2022 Abu Dhabi GP - Race results

Max Verstappen rounded out the Formula 1 season with victory in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as Charles Leclerc snatched P2 in the championship.

It was a dominant drive from Verstappen for a 15th win of the season, as the main focus was on the battle for runner-up in the standings between Leclerc and Sergio Perez.

Perez was set for P2, but elected to go onto a two-stopper, as Leclerc just about hung on from the charging Red Bull for second in the race and standings.

Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton's run of a win in every season ended with a late hydraulic failure as Sebastian Vettel finished his final race in 10th.

The expansion of the F1 calendar has brought new venues onto the schedule, with street circuits in Miami and Saudi Arabia joining in recent years. The sport has faced a delicate challenge in implementing new circuit locations, with threats of losing classic F1 venues proving to be a hot topic among drivers and fans.
