Defending Formula 1 champion retakes points lead, Red Bull passes Ferrari in Constructors' race. By Phillip Horton. May 22, 2022.

We had a good start, a good first lap and that’s all you want. From eighth place on the grid Kevin Magnussen was overly combative in a bold attempt to pass Hamilton through turn 4 and the contact sent him tumbling down the order, wrecking his points prospect. But the new-spec AMR22 did not have a transformative effect on Aston Martin’s prospects. Aston Martin rattled a few cages early in the weekend when its heavily revised AMR22 was introduced. “The Barcelona track is demanding in many ways and it has usually been something of a bogey circuit for us, but the F1-75 was the quickest car on track yesterday and today, Charles was comfortably in the lead, running at a very good race pace.” It was a doubly bad day for Ferrari given the travails of Carlos Sainz. Running third, Sainz made an unforced error early on into turn 4 and spun through the gravel, which caused damage to his floor. "We made progress in terms of tire management, which is something that has been a weakness in the past few races. I know that things like this can happen sometimes and in moments like these, it is important to look at the positives. clonk. An instant power unit failure robbed Leclerc’s Ferrari of speed and he was forced to tour around to the pits to retire. Having been compliant in not battling Verstappen he was irritated at not being given track position during the moments when he had a tire advantage. Leclerc’s demise and a switch to a three-stop strategy in the searing Spanish heat—with air temperature nearing 100 degrees—meant the outlook became swiftly rosier. That frustrated Verstappen, leading to a series of angry exchanges with the pit wall, as remedies were sought.

"It is a shame. "Today was very tough. A second podium of the season for Russell ensured the 24-year-old Briton extended his run of finishing fifth or above in the first five races of the campaign. "We will look at this issue and we cannot afford for this to happen many times in the season so we need to find the problem." After posting a blistering final qualifying lap to start on pole, the Ferrari driver looked set to ease to his third win of the season before suffering a loss of power on lap 27, forcing the devastated 24-year-old to retire from a race for the first time this season. As well as Red Bull taking a second one-two in three races, Perez also secured an extra point for fastest lap to provide the cherry on top of the cake after a near-perfect afternoon in Barcelona for the team.
