Formula 1 has always been a great source of entertainment with healthy and very impressive competitiveness, it would be no different this 2022 season where several new names are entering the scene for good and the technical level has risen to a higher level compared to several of the previous seasons.
The Formula One betting market is busier than ever, after all, this sport is gaining a huge popularity in the 2022 season, as the rookie drivers are impressing all the experts in the sport.
But what does this season still have in store for us? In this article we'll get a better understanding of the season so far, and we'll make some guesses as to who could be the great champion of this 2022 season in formula one.
The season so far
This Formula 1 season has impressed all sports journalists, bettors, experts and enthusiasts. Some of the top names in the history of this sport like Lewis Hamilton, are not having a very good season.
The seven-time champion has been having technical problems in his car, a vehicle that doesn't seem to fit the season and has brought a big disadvantage to the Englishman who uses all his skill and experience to stay in scoring levels. On the other hand, his teammate, still considered a new driver, George Russel, has shown himself to be very determined and has been showing much better results than Lewis.
Charles Leclerc has accumulated more than 100 points while racing for Ferrari, and even with several mistakes made by his team, he has stayed in contention with several wins.
However, 2021 champion Max Verstappen of the Red Bull team is ahead of Leclerc, while the Monegasque is waiting for a mistake from his opponent to take the lead back and try to keep it until the end of the competition.
Who will win the championship in 2022?
This is the golden question that many enthusiasts and bettors would like to know the answer to, so far, experts point Max Verstappen as the favorite driver to win the competition, as Charles Leclerc is facing a bad phase with several wrong decisions that are costing him very important points in the competition.
Right behind the two, underdogs Sergio Peres and Hamilton's Mercedes teammate George Russell are keeping a close eye on any failure by the favorites at the top of the table. Both have maintained a consistent scoring streak that could make all the difference at the end of the championship when every point counts.
Carlos Sainz, Leclerc's Ferrari teammate, also maintains a very consistent scoring streak, even though many pundits don't consider him a driver qualified enough to fight with the drivers at the top of the table, Sainz is still a front-runner and could surprise in this final round of racing.
Concluding
The truth is that anything can happen in Formula 1, the drivers have differences in technical quality level, both in skills and in their teams, but even so they may end up blending even more into the table and making each point much more important than it is now.
Let's wait and see if the predictions are correct or if, once again, some rookie or underdog may end up winning what is one of the most competitive tournaments in the world.
