F1 2022 standings: Check Drivers & Constructors standings in Formula One after Bahrain GP

Formula One 2022 season kicked off with Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend, which saw Ferrari achieve a magnificent 1-2 on podium.

Starting race from pole position, Charles Leclerc led entire race, while doing a great job to hold off reigning world champion Max Verstappen’s Red Bull behind him. While an engine failure in ending moments of race forced Verstappen to not finish race, a similar fate ensued his teammate Sergio Perez in final lap.

However, Verstappen's DNF gave Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz a chance to equal his best race result, as he finished second. At same time, despite being relatively off-pace throughout weekend, Mercedes returned with a surprisingly good result as Lewis Hamilton earned a surprise podium.

Meanwhile, making his debut as a full-time Mercedes driver, George Russell finished fourth, while Kevin Magnussen finished fifth on his Haas, on his return to Formula One.

Magnussen and Haas’ story was one of most inspirational parts of Bahrain GP as he re-joined team only a week ahe of first race weekend.
