It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship was contested over twenty-two {{not a typo|Grands Prix}}, which were held around the world, and ended earlier than in recent years to avoid overlapping with the FIFA World Cup.Drivers and teams competed for the titles of World Drivers’ Champion and World Constructors’ Champion, respectively. The 2022 championship saw the introduction of significant changes to the sport’s technical regulations. These changes had been intended to be introduced in {{F1|2021}}, but were delayed until 2022 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Max Verstappen, who was the reigning Drivers’ Champion, claimed his second title at the Japanese Grand Prix, while his team, Red Bull Racing, achieved their fifth World Constructor Championship, and first since {{F1|2013}}, at the following United States Grand Prix. Defending Constructors’ Champions, Mercedes failed to defend their championship and fell a distant third with their only win in Saõ Paulo, having failed to adapt to the new regulations implemented by the FIA.WEB, Brilliant Verstappen claims maiden title after victory in Abu Dhabi season finale following late Safety Car drama,www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.brilliant-verstappen-claims-maiden-title-after-victory-in-abu-dhabi-season.22Arui4l6BKK2PUsJgKqpZ.html, Formula One, 12 December 2021, 12 December 2021, 12 December 2021,web.archive.org/web/20211212145515/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.brilliant-verstappen-claims-maiden-title-after-victory-in-abu-dhabi-season.22Arui4l6BKK2PUsJgKqpZ.html, live, WEB,www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.verstappen-crowned-world-champion-with-japanese-gp-victory-after-late.7g1xgGHHew3f2If32u8U1z.html, Verstappen crowned world champion with Japanese GP victory after late penalty for Leclerc, Formula One, 9 October 2022, 10 October 2022, 9 October 2022,web.archive.org/web/20221009145221/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.verstappen-crowned-world-champion-with-japanese-gp-victory-after-late.7g1xgGHHew3f2If32u8U1z.html, live, WEB,www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.verstappen-beats-hamilton-to-united-states-gp-victory-as-red-bull-secure-an.A7jmiEqb29YaZGQ6DDyAM.html, Verstappen beats Hamilton to United States GP victory as Red Bull secure an emotional constructors’ title win, Formula1.com, 23 October 2022, 23 October 2022, 24 October 2022,web.archive.org/web/20221024003355/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.verstappen-beats-hamilton-to-united-states-gp-victory-as-red-bull-secure-an.A7jmiEqb29YaZGQ6DDyAM.html, live, This was the final season for four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel.WEB, 28 July 2022, Sebastian Vettel to retire from F1 at the end of the 2022 season,www.astonmartinf1.com/en-GB/news/announcement/sebastian-vettel-to-retire-from-f1-at-the-end-of-the-2022-season, 28 July 2022, Aston Martin F1 Team, 28 July 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220728100446/https://www.astonmartinf1.com/en-GB/news/announcement/sebastian-vettel-to-retire-from-f1-at-the-end-of-the-2022-season, live, Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton endured a difficult season with Mercedes, failing to secure either a pole position or Grand Prix win during the season, the first time either occurrence had happened in his Formula One career since it began in {{F1|2007}}.WEB,www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques/pilote/pole/annee-consecutive.aspx, Pole positions Consecutives years, statsf1.com, 6 December 2022, 14 November 2019,web.archive.org/web/20191114100352/https://www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques/pilote/pole/annee-consecutive.aspx, live, WEB,www.planetf1.com/news/lewis-hamilton-ends-2022-zero-wins/, Lewis Hamilton’s brutal assessment as he finishes F1 2022 with zero wins, PlanetF1, Wilde, Jon, 20 November 2022, 6 December 2022, 29 March 2023,web.archive.org/web/20230329105628/https://www.planetf1.com/news/lewis-hamilton-ends-2022-zero-wins/, live, EntriesThe following constructors and drivers were under contract to compete in the 2022 World Championship.MAGAZINE,www.autosport.com/f1/news/151511/all-f1-teams-sign-up-for-new-concorde-agreement, All 10 Formula 1 teams sign up for new Concorde Agreement, Autosport, Smith, Luke, 19 August 2020, 28 January 2021, 4 December 2020,web.archive.org/web/20201204120305/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/151511/all-f1-teams-sign-up-for-new-concorde-agreement, live, All teams competed with tyres supplied by Pirelli.WEB,racingnews365.com/pirelli-to-remain-formula-1-tyre-provider-until-2024, Pirelli to remain F1 tyre provider until 2024, 5 March 2021, Racingnews365.com, 9 August 2022, 19 April 2021,web.archive.org/web/20210419082926/https://racingnews365.com/pirelli-to-remain-formula-1-tyre-provider-until-2024, live, Each team was required to enter at least two drivers, one for each of the two mandatory cars.WEB,www.racefans.net/2022-f1-season/2022-f1-drivers-and-teams/, 2022 F1 drivers and teams, RaceFans, 3 July 2021, Collantine Media, 10 April 2022, 10 April 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220410092234/https://www.racefans.net/2022-f1-season/2022-f1-drivers-and-teams/, live, WEB, 19 July 2022, 2022 Formula One sporting regulations,www.fia.com/sites/default/files/fia_2022_formula_1_sporting_regulations_-_issue_8_-_2022-07-19.pdf, 10 October 2022, Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, Article 8.6, 7 October 2022,web.archive.org/web/20221007084259/https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/fia_2022_formula_1_sporting_regulations_-_issue_8_-_2022-07-19.pdf, live, {{Clear}}{| class=“wikitable sortable” style="font-size:85%” | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Race direction
Michael Masi, who had served as race director since the death of Charlie Whiting in {{F1|2019}}, was removed from the role of race director after an inquiry into the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. As part of a restructuring of race control, Masi was replaced by former DTM race director Niels Wittich and World Endurance Championship race director Eduardo Freitas. The pair assumed the role on an alternating basis.

This aims to reduce the turbulent air in the wake of the cars to allow drivers to follow each other more closely whilst still maintaining a similar level of downforce compared to previous years. Further changes to the aerodynamics are aimed at limiting the teams’ ability to control airflow around the front wheels and further reduce the cars’ aerodynamic wake.NEWS,www.speedcafe.com/2019/07/19/f1-rubbishes-cookie-cutter-2021-design-concerns/, F1 rubbishes cookie cutter 2021 design concerns, Mat, Coch, speedcafe.com, 19 July 2019, 20 July 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190721111730/https://www.speedcafe.com/2019/07/19/f1-rubbishes-cookie-cutter-2021-design-concerns/, 21 July 2019, live, This includes the elimination of bargeboards, the complex aerodynamic devices that manipulate airflow around the body of the car.WEB,www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.tech-tuesday-whats-been-banned-under-the-2021-rules.50NPTzQjbIbIj5hXkhVVNw.html, Tech Tuesday: What’s been banned under the 2021 rules, 12 November 2019, Formula One, 8 December 2019, 8 December 2019,web.archive.org/web/20191208172418/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.tech-tuesday-whats-been-banned-under-the-2021-rules.50NPTzQjbIbIj5hXkhVVNw.html, live, The front wing and endplates have been simplified, reducing the number and complexity of aerodynamic elements. The front wing must also directly connect to the nosecone, unlike pre-2022 designs where the wing could be connected to the nose via supports to create a space under the monocoque, thereby encouraging airflow under the car by way of the wing’s larger surface area and the nose’s increased height. The rear wings are wider and mounted higher than in previous years, with additional restrictions in place to limit the constructors’ ability to use a car’s exhaust gases to generate downforce. Figures released by the Working Group revealed that where a {{F1|2019}}-specification car following another car had just 55% of its normal levels of downforce available, a 2022-specification car following another car would have up to 86% of its normal levels of downforce.WEB,www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk-JKrs0rrc, F1’s 2021 rule changes: 10 things you need to know, YouTube, Autosport, Motorsport Network, 24 December 2019, 19 January 2021,web.archive.org/web/20210119001144/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk-JKrs0rrc, live, Teams have been further restricted in the number of aerodynamic upgrades they can introduce to the car, both over the course of a race weekend and over the course of the championship.

The introduction of ground effect meant that cars that ride high off the ground get less benefit from aerodynamic ground effects, which translates to slower speed on the track.WEB, 1 July 2022, What is porpoising?

When ground effect is interrupted, a car experiences an aerodynamic stall, and the car lifts from the track surface. When airflow re-establishes, the car is pulled down again. When this effect occurs repeatedly, it is colloquially known as “porpoising”. Teams with low riding cars sometimes also experience “bottoming out”, where tracks with uneven surfaces combined with a low ride height simply means the car’s floor will scrape the track surface.WEB, McLaren F1 Playbook,www.mclaren.com/racing/f1-playbook/, 24 July 2022, mclaren.com, en, 6 August 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220806135220/https://www.mclaren.com/racing/f1-playbook/, live, Bottoming out and porpoising can both cause significant forces readily felt by drivers; McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo described these as being “rattled” or “shaken”.WEB, 12 June 2022, More Formula 1 drivers concerned about health issues from porpoising,www.planetf1.com/news/drivers-concerned-health-porpoising/, 24 July 2022, PlanetF1, en, 6 August 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220806132911/https://www.planetf1.com/news/drivers-concerned-health-porpoising/, live, By June 2022, several drivers had raised concerns about the effects of both of these problems. Haas’s Kevin Magnussen had complained of nerve issues, and both of Mercedes’s drivers had complained of back pain. As a result, the FIA decided that from the Belgian Grand Prix onwards a technical directive would be introduced to prevent cars from porpoising and bottoming out to an unsafe level following safety and legality concerns in the first half of the season.

Individual parts will now be classified as a way of clarifying the rules surrounding them:- “Listed parts” refers to the parts of the car that teams are required to design by themselves, such as the survival cell and most of the aerodynamic components.
- “Standard parts” is the name given to the parts of the car that all teams must use, including wheel rims and equipment used in pit stops.
- “Transferable parts” are parts that a team can develop and sell on to another team, such as the gearbox and the clutch.
- “Prescribed parts” are parts that teams are required to develop according to a prescriptive set of regulations. Prescribed parts include wheel arches and wheel aerodynamics.
- “Open-source parts” may be developed collectively by teams and sold on to customers. Steering wheels and the DRS mechanism are listed as open-source parts.

Sprint points system and events
Having been first trialled under the name “sprint qualifying” in {{F1|2021}}, the format returned also for this championship with the name changed to “sprint”. The weekend format was unchanged from 2021 and was run at the Emilia Romagna, Austrian, and São Paulo Grands Prix with points now awarded to the top eight finishers rather than the top three finishers as was the case in 2021. Unlike the previous season, the driver who sets the fastest time in qualifying was credited as the official polesitter, with the winner of sprint continuing to have the right to start the Grand Prix from the first place grid spot.WEB, Formula 1 to hold three Sprint events in 2022 – with more points on offer,www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.formula-1-to-hold-three-sprint-events-in-2022-with-more-points-on-offer.4UXmrMDm6We04ZFlW0Ieo9.html, Formula One, 14 February 2022, 26 February 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220226025032/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.formula-1-to-hold-three-sprint-events-in-2022-with-more-points-on-offer.4UXmrMDm6We04ZFlW0Ieo9.html, live, The sprint was originally planned to appear at six Grands Prix before it was reduced to three in a compromise with teams, who wanted an increased cost cap for sprint races, to cover the cost of potential car damage.WEB,us.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1s-sprint-race-when-are-they-and-whats-changed-for-2022/, F1’s Sprint Race: When are they and what’s changed for 2022?, Motorsport.com, 18 April 2022, 7 October 2022, 16 October 2022,web.archive.org/web/20221016215801/https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1s-sprint-race-when-are-they-and-whats-changed-for-2022/10010999/, live,Points system for shortened races
Following the controversy surrounding the awarding of points at the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, which was only run behind the safety car, the criteria needed for points to be awarded for uncompleted events was altered. The requirement was changed so that no points were awarded unless a minimum of two laps had been completed under green flag conditions. Additionally, in the event of a race that was suspended and could not be restarted, points would be awarded as follows:NEWS,www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.f1-commission-approves-changes-to-sporting-regulations-regarding-points-for.10aFBCNICC0dajLVnOAzia.html, F1 Commission approves changes to Sporting Regulations regarding points for shortened races, Formula One, 14 February 2022, 14 February 2022, 17 February 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220217172252/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.f1-commission-approves-changes-to-sporting-regulations-regarding-points-for.10aFBCNICC0dajLVnOAzia.html, live, WEB, 16 March 2022, FIA make changes to Safety Car rules ahead of 2022 F1 season start,www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.fia-make-changes-to-safety-car-rules-ahead-of-2022-f1-season-start.2h2XmjOmYYyusyllcZmVIP.html, 16 March 2022, Formula One, en, 16 March 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220316100245/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.fia-make-changes-to-safety-car-rules-ahead-of-2022-f1-season-start.2h2XmjOmYYyusyllcZmVIP.html, live, WEB, 19 July 2022, 2022 Formula One sporting regulations,www.fia.com/sites/default/files/fia_2022_formula_1_sporting_regulations_-_issue_8_-_2022-07-19.pdf, 10 October 2022, Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, Articles 6.4-6.5, 7 October 2022,web.archive.org/web/20221007084259/https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/fia_2022_formula_1_sporting_regulations_-_issue_8_-_2022-07-19.pdf, live,- If less than 25% of the scheduled race distance, points are awarded on a 6–4–3–2–1 basis to the top 5.

Safety car procedures and protocols
In light of the controversy surrounding the safety car at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the procedures for the safety car restart were changed. Rather than waiting until the lap after the last car has unlapped itself from the leader, the safety car would now be withdrawn one lap after the instruction that lapped cars may unlap themselves has been given.WEB, Smith, Luke, FIA makes rule tweak to streamline F1 safety car restart process,www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-makes-rule-tweak-to-streamline-f1-safety-car-restart-process/8289311/, Autosport, 18 February 2022, Motorsport Network, 18 February 2022, 21 February 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220221030214/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-makes-rule-tweak-to-streamline-f1-safety-car-restart-process/8289311/, live, Additionally, the wording of the regulations was altered and now state that “all” cars rather than “any” cars will be allowed to unlap themselves, if deemed safe by the race director.WEB, Collantine, Keith, 15 March 2022, FIA changes F1 rule on lapped cars overtaking Safety Car after Abu Dhabi row,www.racefans.net/2022/03/15/fia-changes-f1-rule-on-lapped-cars-overtaking-safety-car-after-abu-dhabi-row/, 15 March 2022, RaceFans, 15 March 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220315182729/https://www.racefans.net/2022/03/15/fia-changes-f1-rule-on-lapped-cars-overtaking-safety-car-after-abu-dhabi-row/, live, From the Australian Grand Prix onwards, the FIA started clamping down on the kinds of tactics Max Verstappen employed during the final safety car restart at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and at subsequent safety car restarts at the first two rounds of the championship, the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, where he aggressively accelerated, braked, and drew alongside another car during the restart, trying to seek a tactical advantage over rival drivers.

Sainz took his third pole position of the season, and was spun by George Russell into turn one and forced to retire due to the resulting damage. Mercedes had a chance at winning after Lewis Hamilton took the lead through a very slow pit stop for Verstappen. Verstappen overturned a four-second gap to retake the lead on lap 50. This race was notable for a collision between Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, which sent Alonso airborne. Alonso continued and finished the race in seventh, only to receive a thirty-second penalty post-race after Haas protested the decision not to show Alonso a black and orange flag due to his right wing mirror dislodging during the race. This penalty was overturned four days later, as the FIA determined that Haas did not submit their protest within thirty minutes of the race finishing, making the protest inadmissible.Verstappen took his sixth pole position and his fourteenth race win of the season at the Mexico City Grand Prix, breaking the record for most wins in a Formula One season, previously held jointly by Michael Schumacher ({{F1|2004}}) and Sebastian Vettel ({{F1|2013}}). Daniel Ricciardo made his way from thirteenth to seventh in sixteen laps while also dealing with a ten-second time penalty due to a collision with Yuki Tsunoda.File:Cheering for Hamilton’s overtake (52499307609) (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|Lewis Hamilton at the São Paulo Grand PrixSão Paulo Grand PrixThe São Paulo Grand Prix was the third and final sprint weekend of the season, meaning qualifying was on Friday, in wet conditions. Kevin Magnussen took the first pole position of his Formula One career, as well as Haas’ first. Magnussen was unable to keep the faster cars at bay during the sprint, and Mercedes were able to lock out the front row for the Grand Prix on Sunday, which they converted into their first one-two finish since the 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, with Russell taking his first win in Formula One. The race involved collisions between Magnussen and Ricciardo, Verstappen and Hamilton and, Norris and Leclerc. At the conclusion of the race, Verstappen rejected a team order to let teammate Pérez pass him for sixth place, stating that he told the team in the summer to not give Pérez any preferential team orders.Verstappen took a seventh pole position at the season ending {{F1 GP|2022|Abu Dhabi}} and a fifteenth win on the season, extending the record that he had set in Mexico City. Charles Leclerc held off a faster Sergio Pérez to claim second place, earning Leclerc second in the Drivers’ Championship as well. Two Constructors’ Championship places came down to the final race of the season; Mercedes was unable to pass Ferrari for second after Russell finished fifth and Hamilton retired with a gearbox failure, while Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo finished tied on points, with Alfa Romeo claiming sixth on countback. The race was the final one for Sebastian Vettel, who retired, and for Nicholas Latifi and Mick Schumacher, who were unable to secure a race seat for 2023.Results and standings
