The undisputed King of Qualifying in 2022, Charles Leclerc showed time and again he’s one of the quickest, if not the quickest, driver in the field and with the F1-75 starting the season in style, won two of the first three races and pulled away a massive points’ advantage that, at the time, looked difficult to overcome. An unforced error in Imola, reliability issues in Spain and Azerbaijan, compounded with a terrible strategy call by his team in Monaco, robbed him not only of the championship lead by also his momentum, putting the Monegasque in a state of near desperation. More mistakes, his’ and from the team, put him down to third in the championship, before both the driver and the strategy team redeemed themselves in Abu Dhabi.
