Who is favourite for the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix 2022?
Who will win the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix 2022?
If the results of the first GP of the season in Bahrain last weekend are anything to go by, then Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are certainly favourites.
Leclerc won the season opener ahead of Sainz. It was the first Ferrari victory since 2019.
But Lewis Hamilton could also be a candidate for victory in 2022. After all, the Englishman is coming to Jeddah not only as third from the Bahrain GP, but also as last year’s winner.
And Max Verstappen?
The reigning world champion was in the lead for a long time at the Bahrain GP, but the car went on strike in the finish. If Red Bull can get the problems under control for the Saudi Arabian GP, Verstappen is certainly a favourite to win.
