Meanwhile, four-time champion and Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel finished 10th in the last race of his F1 career.

    Verstappen registered his third successive Abu Dhabi Grand Prix win (2020, 2021, and 2022). The 25-year-old had won under controversial circumstances in the 2021 edition to claim his maiden World Drivers Championship (WDC).

    15 Grand Prix wins in 2022

    Verstappen's 15 Formula 1 race wins in a season is the most by an individual in a single F1 campaign. He broke the previous record of 13 races held by Michael Schumacher (2004) and Vettel (2013) at the Mexican Grand Prix.

He won a record 15 races this season - Saudi Arabian GP, Emilia Romagna GP, Miami GP, Spanish GP, Azerbaijan GP, Canadian GP, French GP, Hungarian GP, Belgian GP, Dutch GP, Italian GP, Japanese GP, Mexican GP, and Abu Dhabi GP). He enjoyed 17 podium finishes this season (third in Monaco, 2nd in Austria).

    Key numbers for Leclerc, Perez

    Leclrec garnered his 11th podium of the season and 24th overall. Perez, who was tied with Leclerc in the driver standings heading into Abu Dhabi, finished third. The Mexican ace grabbed his 12th podium of the 2022 season. It was best run in Formula 1, beating his previous tally of five podium finishes in 2021. Meanwhile, Perez fetched the 26th podium of his career.

    Hamilton signs off on a disappointing note

    Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton couldn't complete his race as Mercedes faced their first mechanical failure of the season. Hamilton remained winless all throughout the season. It's the first such instance of his F1 career. Regardless, he managed nine podiums in the 2022 season. He owns 191 podium finishes in his F1 career.
