F1 2022: F1 results from Saudi Arabia Grand Prix and current F1 standings ahead of Australian Grand Prix

With Round 3 coming up in Australia, here’s how the points are looking for 2022’s roster of F1 drivers.

Although it’s exciting for any driver to take home a podium place after a race weekend, the top teams also need to keep track of their points as the seasons go on.

Points are awarded for all positions up to P10, which are then added up to find the winning driver of the world championship each year.

Last year, Max Verstappen came out on top, making him the defending champion for 2022.

Here are the current standings following the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Defending world champion Red Bull's Max Verstappen came back out on top after a slow start to the season from Red Bull.

Here’s the full list of finishes, from P1 to those who didn't manage to complete the race:

- P1: Max Verstappen / Red Bull Racing

- P2: Charles Leclerc / Ferrari

- P3: Carlos Sainz / Ferrari

- P4: Sergio Perez / Red Bull Racing

- P5: George Russell / Mercedes

- P6: Esteban Ocon / Alpine

- P7: Lando Norris / McLaren
