F1 World Championship points after the 2022 United States GP

Max Verstappen F1 World Championship Carlos Sainz Charles Leclerc Ferrari Kevin Magnussen Mercedes Red Bull Valtteri Bottas

Verstappen’s victory confirmed Red Bull Racing’s Constructors’ Championship title, just a day after news of the passing of team patriarch Dietrich Mateschitz.

Who is leading the 2022 F1 World Championship Drivers' points?

Red Bull’s two-time world champion Verstappen scored 25 points in Austin, extending his lead in the World Championship to 124 points over Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.

Leclerc retook the runner-up spot in the championship from Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez, despite taking a bigger grid penalty after qualifying at COTA, but only by a couple of points in a battle that looks likely to run to the end of the season.

Mercedes’ George Russell pulled out 11 points on Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz in fourth, having spun out Sainz at the first corner for which he received a five-second penalty. The Spaniard was forced to retire with a water leak after the opening-lap contact.

Lewis Hamilton’s second place takes him within four points of Sainz.

Soon-to-retire Sebastian Vettel’s third points finish on the trot, after a brilliant drive, takes him within 10 points of Valtteri Bottas’s 10th position. Behind him, Kevin Magnussen overtook Pierre Gasly for 13th. 

UPDATE: After the race, Fernando Alonso was given a 30-second penalty due to his car being unsafe with to a mirror issue.

However, Alpine has counter-protested against this. If that fails, teammate Esteban Ocon would be elevated into the points, with Vettel, Magnussen and Tsunoda all gaining more points too.

Who is leading the 2022 F1 World Championship Constructors' points?

In the constructors’ points, Red Bull’s 37-point haul extended its lead over Ferrari to 187.

Mercedes gained 14 points on Ferrari, and cut its deficit down to 53.

Alpine dropped two points to McLaren and is now only 11 ahead in the battle for fourth.

UPDATE: If the counter-protest against Alonso losing his seventh place fails, Alpine would lose seven points (even with Ocon's elevation) and McLaren would be just six behind.

Aston Martin Racing gained another four points on Alfa Romeo, with only three points between them with three races remaining. This decreases to one, depending on the outcome of the Alpine appeal.

Haas F1 Team scored its first points in seven races, putting it one ahead of AlphaTauri – which scored the final point in Austin. This will be two ahead depending on the outcome of its Alpine protest/appeal.
