Just two races in and it seems as though F1 has its headline battle for 2022: Charles Leclerc versus Max Verstappen, Ferrari versus Red Bull. Both were impressive last weekend and the score is now 1-1.
Matt Kew explains how Verstappen overcame Leclerc to take his first win of the season, while Alex Kalinauckas analyses why the reigning champion appears to be racing the Ferrari driver in a different way to how he took on Lewis Hamilton last year.
Despite the fine battling, the events of last weekend highlighted concerns about whether F1 should be going to Saudi Arabia. Luke Smith asks the questions F1 needs to answer as its calendar gets ever bigger and traditional venues come under threat.
We all know F1 is the fastest category in the world when it comes to getting around a race track, but how do other series compare? Marcus Simmons crunches the numbers to see how the major championships stack up – and finds some surprising results.
