THE DRIVERS Today’s drivers are physical specimens, and few athletes in any sport are as fit and focused. With good reason; the slightest lapse at 190 mph (the equivalent of traveling a football field in 1 second) in close quarters can be fatal. The 2022 season will feature an exciting mix of youth tempered by racing royalty. After his painful (and controversial) 2021 championship defeat at Abu Dhabi, British powerhouse Lewis Hamilton 1 will be laser-focused on the crown. One more driver’s championship win would push him past the great Michael Schumacher as the winningest driver in F1 history. Meanwhile, defending champion Max Verstappen 2 – who made his F1 debut at the tender age of 17 – will certainly be one to watch, along with Valtteri Bottas 3 , who replaces Kimi Räikkönen at Alfa Romeo, and George Russell 4 , now in Bottas’s old seat at Mercedes. And after several disappointing years in a row, everyone is waiting to see if 2022 brings a reversal of fortunes for Ferrari.
