Charles Leclerc among nominees for 2022 International Racing Driver. Charles among nominees for 2022 International Racing Driver.

Charles Leclerc looked the real deal when fighting for an Formula 1 title for the first time. He notably crashed while leading in France, but his year was hurt to a greater extent by Ferrari errors. Nine poles and his Australia dominance showed his speed, while passing Verstappen three times to win in Austria reflected his brilliance in wheel-to-wheel battle.

The Monegasque driver has been nominated for International Racing Driver of the Year

The Ferrari F1-75 car has also been nominated for International Racing Car of the Year.
The Maranello team’s finest Formula 1 car for several years came out of the blocks quickly in 2022 and looked like a potential championship winner. But team errors and unreliability hampered the ground-effects machine before Red Bull upped its game and drew away at the head of the field. Four wins is still Ferrari’s best since 2018.
