F1 driver teams for 2022

Mercedes

The UK’s own Lewis Hamilton and Australian George Russell will be behind the wheel at Mercedes in 2022.

Driving a W13 with a Mercedes engine, the team will once more be led by Principal Toto Wolff.

Red Bull

Principal Christian Horner will continue with defending champion Max Vertsappen and Sergio Pérez, coming back for his second season in the team.

Red Bull’s RB18 performed top of the group in testing, so they’ll be hoping for a good year in 2022.

Ferrari

Placing third in last year’s season, Principal Mattia Binotto is back with the F1-75 on the track.

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr make for a talented partnership behind the wheel.

McLaren

In the MCL36 this year are talented British youngster Lando Norris and the more experienced Daniel Ricciardo.

Principal Andreas Seidl will be keen to solve the brake-cooling problem the team faced in the tests before races begin in earnest this season.

Alpine

Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon will take to the track for Alpine this year, driving the A522.

Still rebuilding from the former Renault set-up, Principal Otmar Szafnauer seems to be a strong choice to lead the team so far.

AlphaTauri

Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda are both out to prove they deserve a place in the Red Bull racing team.

They are led by Principal Franz Tost and driving AT03.

Aston Martin

In the AMR22 and led by new Principal Mike Krack, Aston Martin showed promise on the test races, if nothing overly special.

Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll will take the wheel for the 2022 season.

Williams

Alexandor Albon and Nicholas Latifi are driving the new car from Williams, still playing catch-up after being sold by the Williams family.

Principal Jost Capito is leading the team in charge of the FW44.

Alfa Romeo

The team under Principal Frédéric Vasseur has already been battling issues with reliability in the C42 in tests.

There’s another rookie-veteran relationship between the drivers in this team, with 32-year-old Valtteri Bottas and 22-year-old Guanyu Zhou.

Haas

Principal Guenther Steiner has put Kevin Magnussen and Mich Schumacher in his team for 2022.

Driving a VF-22 with a Ferrari engine, the team will be hoping to come back strong after writing off last year.
