In Grill the Grid, the Formula 1 knowledge of all active F1 drivers is put to the test. It is already time for the finale, which made it a considerably shorter 'season' than last year's.

F1 drivers face challenge

In the final, drivers must name a circuit for each letter of the alphabet. Ironically, Max Verstappen drops out at the letter 'R', forgetting the obvious Red Bull Ring. The Dutchman is clearly not having his day, but does not finish in a strong position either. Whereas last year he finished second behind Sebastian Vettel, this year he closes the series on a shared twelfth place with the symbolic number of points of 33. Vettel also came up short this year. The 2021 winner now finishes on P7.

The winner in the final standings is Charles Leclerc: the Ferrari driver concludes the tournament with a narrow lead over Daniel Ricciardo. Third place goes to Fernando Alonso, who is one point ahead of his teammate Esteban Ocon. The full video can be seen on the Formula 1 YouTube channel.
