At the end of the Australian Grand Prix Weekend in April of 2022, Charles Leclerc was 34 points ahead of second place, George Russell, and 46 points ahead of reigning Formula One World Champion, Max Verstappen. At the time, there was hope that Formula One would have a championship battle as tense as the previous year’s. Ferrari had pretty similar pace to Red Bull, seemingly setting up a battle between Leclerc and Verstappen, but since the Australian Grand Prix, Verstappen has completely taken over the sport, with every race being a forgone conclusion before the start. The level of dominance can best be described by two races in Hungary and Belgium.
