For Charles Leclerc, the 2022 F1 season was supposed to be a much better scenario. How the Ferrari star began the season, many thought he could be a serious title contender this season. However, that only remained an expectation as reality hit very hard.

While the Ferrari driver picked up three wins and 10 podiums, his Red Bull counterpart picked up two wins and 10 podiums as well.
