The results of an online poll in which Formula 1 fans voted for their favourite race of the 2022 season have been revealed.
It highlighted the British Grand Prix as the best race of the year, which took 34 per cent of the total votes.
The event from Silverstone saw Carlos Sainz take his first pole position on Saturday before he converted his advantage into a maiden victory the following day.
The race started in dramatic fashion when Zhou Guanyu was flipped upside down following contact from George Russell.
The Chinese driver skated through the gravel before flipping into the crash fencing. Despite the scary nature of the incident, Zhou emerged unscathed.
There was also a seismic battle for the podium positions between Sergio Perez, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
In what was voted the second-best overtake of the year, Hamilton swooped past a squabbling Perez and Leclerc to take both drivers in one go.
Perez went on to take second place in the race, while Hamilton settled for third – his ninth consecutive British GP podium finish.
The Sao Paulo Grand Prix was voted as the second-best race of the year with 21 per cent of the total vote, while the season-opening event in Bahrain was third with eight per cent.
