We warned him in Miami: There is world, many Worlds. And after Spanish F1 GP 2022, the sixth race of course, the fight for the title was tighter, this time with Max Verstappen assuming leading the standings of drivers after achieving his fourth win, the third in a row. In the other two he would be second, but his Red Bull had gone through problems and he had to leave. Once these setbacks were resolved and Milton Keynes made improvements in recent races, Max didn’t stop winning to reach Monaco next weekend, in the land of his rival Charles, as the new leader.
For his part, ‘Checo’ Pérez was third with 85 points, just 25 points behind his teammate Verstappen, a distance that could have been less if Red Bull hadn’t asked the Mexican to let him pass for the Dutchman to get the success. They thought of prioritizing their champion instead of a Pérez who this year is competing at a level very close to Max’s level. Carlos, who finished fourth, was fifth, 9 points behind a big George Russell, who was fourth after adding his second podium of the year to another exhibition at the wheel of a Mercedes that made a great step forward.
Fernando Alonso, who had 2 points in 5 races before coming to Barcelona, doubled his bet to reach four points, little for the performance of his car due to his bad luck in the first trials of the year. .
