Alonso at Aston Martin could be ‘fabulous’ for both parties

Thirteen races down, nine to go. We are technically well past halfway in the 2022 F1 season, but the summer break is the ideal time to take stock.

Who will be lying back on their vacation sunbed quietly content with their performance so far? And which drivers may have to snub that tempting cocktail to spend more time poring over the data to see where they can improve?

Using our driver ratings from each grand prix as a guide, we have ranked all 20 regular racers on the campaigns they have experienced so far.

Let’s start with those needing to up their game from Nos 11 through to 20…

Vettel is well used to operating in the midfield these days and that is exactly where he fits into our ranking, although comfortably ahead of his team-mate.

What is set to be the 35-year-old’s final campaign got off to a later-than-expected start as he missed the first two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia after contracting Covid, although he had previously taken part in testing.

His seasonal debut in Australia was a disaster – although the German’s scooter ride along the track after his car broke down in practice was memorable – and he has suffered as a result of Aston Martin being among the teams that have struggled most to adapt to the new regulations.

Season high: Azerbaijan has been a happy hunting ground for Vettel in the last two years and he followed his 2021 podium with a P6 finish this time, improving from ninth on the grid.

Season low: Crashing out of the Australian Grand Prix on lap
