2022 French Grand Prix
The 2022 French Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Lenovo Grand Prix de France 2022) was a Formula One motor race held on 24 July 2022 at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, France.
Going into the race with 2 consecutive wins for Ferrari and a solid qualifying performance that saw him in pole position, championship challenger Charles Leclerc and Ferrari were favoured for the win, which would have reduced their arrears to the championship leader and title holder Max Verstappen. However, Leclerc, who had been leading the race, spun out on lap 18, conceding the win to Verstappen. Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finished second and third, respectively, giving the team their first double podium of the season.
The race was arguably a turning point in the season, as Verstappen and Red Bull powered on to a streak of victories that saw them become Champions, while Ferrari never recovered from the points and pace deficit that arose over the remainder of the season, a fact highlighted by the Monegasque driver's scream of despair and frustration after crashing out. As of 2025[update], this was also the last French Grand Prix to be held, as the race was not contracted for the 2023 season and beyond.
The event was held across the weekend of the 22–24 July, during the 2022 European heat waves. It was the twelfth round of the 2022 Formula One World Championship.
Max Verstappen led the Drivers' Championship by 38 points from Charles Leclerc, with Sergio Pérez third, a further 19 points behind. Red Bull Racing led the Constructors' Championship, leading Ferrari by 56 points and Mercedes by 122 points.
The drivers and teams were the same as the season entry list with no additional stand-in drivers for the race. Nyck de Vries and Robert Kubica drove for Mercedes in place of Lewis Hamilton and for Alfa Romeo in place of Valtteri Bottas, respectively, during the first practice session.
The Grand Prix marked the 300th race entry and start for Lewis Hamilton.
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C2, C3, and C4 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event.
