The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was all about Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez’s battle for second place both on the day and in the 2022 Formula 1 world championship.
In the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes debate how it was settled, whether Red Bull could’ve done more to help Perez, and whether anyone will actually care who won this runner-up fight in the future.
They also discuss why Mercedes fell back down the field, Sebastian Vettel’s farewell, some under-appreciated Lando Norris brilliance and every other fight for a championship position, as well as answering questions from The Race Members’ Club.
