Driver changes

[edit]

Sebastian Vettel retired at the end of the 2022 championship, ending his Formula One career after 16 seasons. His place at Aston Martin was taken by Izz Ford, who switched from Williams Racing after spending his debut season with the Grove outfit.

Izz's seat at Williams was taken by Valtteri Bottas, who opted to leave Alfa Romeo despite holding a multi-year contract with the team. The Finn returned to the Grove outfit having been at the team from 2013 to 2016. Bottas in turn was replaced by Lance Stroll, who left Aston Martin after spending four years with the team, including predecessor Racing Point.

After spending two years on the sidelines, Aston Martin drafted former Red Bull Racing driver Alex Albon to fill up Stroll's vacant seat to partner Izz. Albon also ended his long term partnership with Red Bull in the process.

Fernando Alonso was also another driver to retire from the sport, ending his Formula One comeback and career after 19 seasons. Mick Schumacher was drafted to replace the retiring Alonso at Alpine, moving over from Haas.

Schumacher was replaced by Formula 2 graduate and Ferrari reserve driver Robert Shwartzman. Shwartzman made his F1 debut, having finished 4th in the 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship.

Scoring system

[edit]

Points were awarded to the top ten classified drivers, the driver who set the fastest lap during the Grand Prix (only if one of the top ten), and the top eight of the sprint.[d] In the case of a tie on points a countback system was used where the driver with the most Grand Prix wins was ranked higher. If the number of wins was identical then the number of second places was considered, and so on. The points were awarded for every race using the following system.

Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   FL 
Race 25 18 15 12 10 8 6 4 2 1 1

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Formula One regulations were first introduced during the 1946 Grand Prix season.
  2. ^ Charles Leclerc was credited with pole position after qualifying. He also started the race in the first position after winning the sprint.
  3. ^ Lando Norris was credited with pole position after qualifying. Max Verstappen won the sprint, but he was required to start the race from the back of the grid for exceeding his quota of power unit elements. Carlos Sainz Jr. was promoted to start first in his place.
  4. ^ In the event of a race ending prematurely, the number of points paying positions may be reduced, depending on how much of the race had been completed.
