Winners and losers from F1's 2022 French Grand Prix - The Race (The Race)

It's difficult to think of a 2022 Formula 1 race where the biggest winner and the biggest loser are as easy to identify as the French GP.

But while you can have varying opinions on the decision to pit him late on – Sainz himself seemed more understanding of it post-race than he was during – he should never have been in that position to begin with. His team-mate Valtteri Bottas struggled to match the cars around him and ultimately finished in 14th, over 14 seconds off the points despite the mid-race safety car bunching up the field. Zhou’s race would end after he reported a lack of power and misfiring of his Ferrari engine. – BA And while this weekend didn’t do much to address that balance, it will mark one of Stroll’s best performances of 2022 so far. With a better execution of the race from Ferrari, neither Mercedes driver would’ve been on the podium.

In round 12 of the 2022 F1 season, Max Verstappen has once again emerged victorious.

The team's delayed and chaotic decisions resulted in a fifth-place finish for Sainz, who was showing the pace to finish on the podium, if not win the race itself. Lewis Hamilton, in his 300th F1 career Grand Prix start, drove a strong race to come ahead of his teammate to get his best result of 2022 in second place. With this, and a fourth-place finish for Sergio Perez, a mere seven points remain between Leclerc and Perez, who stand second and third respectively in the standings.

Home driver Pierre Gasly lost time as he outbraked himself at Turn 8 on Lap 28 in chase of Alex Albon, having to take the escape road, and fell from 12th to 15th. Williams' Nicholas Latifi attempted a move on Haas’s Kevin Magnussen on Lap 38, but with the Dane having run out of room, the pair made contact. Eighth-placed Esteban Ocon shrugged off his early penalty and passed Daniel Ricciardo for P8 on Lap 7, placing the next McLaren of Lando Norris in his crosshairs. Lap 22 saw the Safety Car peel off and Verstappen lead away with ease, taking just five laps to open a gap of three seconds over Hamilton. Sainz was undeterred by his penalty and pried places off Norris and Alonso to go into fifth using the pace of those medium tyres. Ferrari didn't need to concern themselves with Leclerc’s strategy in the end, as on Lap 18, the leader entered Turn 11 and the rear stepped out, with the Monegasque spinning into the barriers. Nine laps later, Sainz went wheel-to-wheel with Perez – shouting “not now!” to his pit wall as they asked him to box at the most inopportune time – and yet managed to take P2 off the Red Bull going into the final corner. Verstappen blinked first, taking the call to pit for hards on Lap 17 and dropping from second to sixth, behind Lando Norris – though he took P5 off the McLaren at Turn 11 soon after the stop. Meanwhile, it seemed that Hamilton had opened a slight gap to Perez and Russell had begun to gain on the Mexican – an encouraging sign for the Silver Arrows… As for Sainz, he didn’t make headway on Lap 1 but would soon make quick work of the Alfa Romeos, Gasly, and Mick Schumacher, to reach P14 by Lap 5. Alpine’s Fernando Alonso passed Lando Norris early on and stayed in sixth, ahead of both McLarens for much of the race, holding them up for team mate Esteban Ocon to take P7 off Daniel Ricciardo after the Safety Car restart. Perez and Russell had previously made contact at Turn 8 – no penalties applied – in a fraught battle for the rostrum, which ended with the pair split by just 0.8s by the flag. Perez lost P3 to Hamilton at the start of the race and couldn’t keep pace with him.
