Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2022: World champion Max Verstappen victorious again
Max Verstappen has won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in a spectacular fashion, battling to keep the lead from the moment the lights turned green and the Formula One racers tore into the first corner.
The Red Bull driver already had the championship wrapped up, but he was clearly intent on extending his record number of season wins to 15 with victory at Yas Marina Circuit.
The battle for the championship runner-up slot went to Charles Leclerc, who placed second in the race.
This followed a manic battle between the Ferrari driver and Sergio Perez, his rival, which continued right from the off.
Carlos Sainz in the other Ferrari managed to place fourth, nudging out Mercedes’ George Russell into the No 5 spot.
