Standings after the Belgian grand prix 2022

Here the latest standings following the 2022 Belgian grand prix.

What Verstappened continue to charge up the Losers League, as do their sister team Strolling the ranks. Both teams are at the highest point they have been all season. Mancunian Badboy Racing jump up three places and may find themselves back in the top ten. And look how tight it is between 2nd and 3rd. We now have four teams that have passed the 1000-point barrier.

Valtteri Bottas is the highest rising driver, and McLaren is the highest rising constructor. Williams and Haas are still locked to within one point at the top of their loserboard.

Read on for the full Standings.

BIGGEST LOSERS IN BELGIUM

  • What Verstappened took a strong 1st place at Spa with 165 points. An incredible clutch of Pitlane Punt wins (see below) was backed up by, well, throwing everything else at the wall too. Good Track Points at the heart of it all.
  • In 2nd place are Mancunian Badboy Racing, whose 127 points is largely attributable to a double Boost Button, but there was Punt success in there too.
  • What Verstappened's sister team Strolling the ranks find themselves in 3rd place with 120 points. Similar story to their partner outfit: punts, punts, punts.
  • In 4th place are League leaders Vladimir Mazepin. Their 108 points come from good Punting, if slightly let down by a poor Boost performance.
  • Same for Nikita Putin, Vlad's sister team, who take 106 points and 5th position in Belgium.
  • The double-boosted Double Daley just scraped 6th place, mainly thanks to a spot of Punt perfection.

Track Points for drivers and constructors: Belgian grand prix 2022

Ricciardo looking surprised, saying "a beige WHAT?"

So many teams started in the pitlane at the Belgian grand prix, we were thinking of setting up offices there. There were four beige flags given out in this race, which is a lovely way to return from the summer break.

Daniel Ricciardo was the race's biggest losing driver, partly because his career is imploding, and also because he tanked in the race itself. Schumacher took second place – there's a new Pitlane Punt about him here. Weird to see Hamilton so high in the driver points, but we guess he's having his own career trouble at the moment. What was it Alonso said about him in the race? That he only knows how to drive when in first place? The League appreciates this new phase in Lewis's career.

Alfa Romeo and Mercedes lead the way in the constructors at Spa. They were the only two teams to have retirements in this race, with Romeo scoring retirement Track Points for a third race in a row. Oh and we can finally award those Piastri beige flag points to Alpine.

From next week's Netherlands grand prix, the raceday special Track Points element pivots once again. It will no longer be about teammate gaps. In September, these points will be given to the car that gets the biggest FIA penalty in a race weekend . Chosen at our discretion. Learn about Track Points here.

The Schu Shoo Punt (closed)

The Schu Shoo: Play this Pitlane Punt

This punt has now closed.

Mick Schumacher is battling to keep his seat at Haas^. We wouldn't normally do a second punt about one driver, but this feels like a big moment.

Has Mick's many crashes put a dent in his career? Will he be saved by another team?

Bet that any time in the next three weeks that Schumacher will lose his 2023 Haas drive. Read on to play this Punt.

BIGGEST LOSERS IN HUNGARY

  • In 1st place at the Hungarian grand prix is Vladimir Mazepin with 142 points. They were the best Booster of the race, despite it being an automatic action. Lucky Vlad. Three Pitlane Punt wins certainly helped too.
  • What Verstappened take 2nd place with 138 points. Great Track Points, two perfect Forecasts and Punt wins to boot.
  • Vladimir Mazepin's sister team Nikita Putin comes 3rd with 110 points. Talk about a dominating performance in the League standings.
  • What Verstappened's sister outfit Strolling the ranks got 107 points and claim 4th place in Hungary. Loads of Forecast and Punt points.
  • In 5th position are Alfa Daley with 104, slightly flattered by pressing two Boost Buttons.
  • Nailing their Fast Forecasts were Scrapyard 17, whose 99 points give them 6th place.

Track Points for drivers and constructors: Hungarian grand prix 2022

Valtteri Bottas shooting a water pistol, saying "it's an alien ray gun, no more sausage legs for me"

A year on from his bowling ball destruction, Valtteri Bottas was the only retirement at this year's Hungarian grand prix. The reasons for his exit this time were far less dramatic. A problem with his fuel system. That's rubbish. He could at least have been kidnapped by aliens and returned to his cockpit with sausages for legs or something. He takes the spoils in Hungary alongside Ricciardo, who had a rotten race and therefore scooped the earliest exit and raceday special Track Points.

Williams and Alfa Romeo were the highest scoring constructors. But never mind that. Vettel! He's going! Sebastian Vettel has had an illustrious career. He came 7th in the drivers' standings in the 2021 F1 Losers League, and is currently 4th in the 2022 rankings. He's done other stuff in F1 too, can't remember. We salute you, Inspector Seb.
