The race weekend was held on 25–27 March 2022 and was the second race to be held in Saudi Arabia after the first one held in December 2021.[6] The race took place one week after the Bahrain Grand Prix and two weeks before the Australian Grand Prix.[7]
On 25 March, an Aramco oil depot near Jeddah, approximately 16 km (10 mi) from the circuit, was attacked by drones and missiles, triggering a large fire. Yemen's Houthi movement rebels, who were also accused of launching a missile during the 2021 Diriyah ePrix, allegedly claimed responsibility.[8] Black smoke was seen during the first practice session. The second practice session was delayed by 15 minutes to allow for an emergency meeting between the drivers, team principals and Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali.[9] Despite the attack, Formula One and the organisers announced that the event would continue as planned.[10][11]
The Grand Prix Drivers' Association held a further meeting with the drivers at 22:00 local time; all drivers agreed to participate for the remainder of the event after 4+1⁄2 hours of talks. According to the BBC, drivers were reassured over security and convinced to race after being warned of "the consequences of not racing", which reportedly included potentially being denied exit visas to leave the country in the event of a boycott.[12]
Hosting country Saudi Arabia was under constant condemnation for sportswashing its human rights through the Formula One Grand Prix. The event took place just days after the 2022 Saudi Arabia mass execution, in which 81 men were executed in a single day. Amnesty International said the race "must not be allowed to cover up" Saudi Arabia's human rights violations.[18] Maya Foa, the director of Reprieve, said that the Formula One contract with Saudi Arabia was "to sportswash Mohammed bin Salman's blood-soaked regime".[19]
Lewis Hamilton called on the Saudi authorities "to make the changes" and said there is a "need to see more", while stating that the drivers should not be held accountable for the host country's human rights issues.[20][21]
Practice
Three practice sessions were held, each lasting one hour. The first two practice sessions were held on Friday 25 March at 17:00 and 20:00 AST (UTC+03:00). The third practice session took place at 17:00 on 26 March.[3] Ferrari's Charles Leclerc topped all three sessions ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen;[22][23][24] both he and teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. were forced to end their second practice early after each hitting the wall.[25]
Qualifying
Qualifying took place on 26 March at 20:00 AST (UTC+03:00) and lasted for one hour.[3] Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton was eliminated in the first segment of qualifying for the first time since the 2017 Brazilian Grand Prix and the first time he had been eliminated at this stage of qualifying due to lack of pace since qualifying for the 2009 British Grand Prix.[26][27] Q1 was red flagged for a crash by Williams' Nicholas Latifi; after the suspension, the first five drivers eliminated were AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda, both Williams drivers Latifi and Alexander Albon, Aston Martin's Nico Hülkenberg, and Hamilton.[28] Q2 was red flagged following a crash by Haas's Mick Schumacher, from which he was largely unhurt; he was sent to hospital for precautionary medical scans.[29] After a lengthy suspension, the session was resumed, with Aston Martin's Lance Stroll, Schumacher, Alfa Romeo's Zhou Guanyu, and both McLaren drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris all eliminated at the end.[28] Ricciardo, who qualified 12th, was given a three-place grid penalty for impeding Alpine's Esteban Ocon.[30]
During the final part of qualifying, Red Bull's Sergio Pérez took his maiden Formula One pole position ahead of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. for Ferrari in second and third, respectively.[28] As a result of his pole position, Pérez proceeded to set a new record for most Grands Prix contested before achieving a pole position with 215.[31] Pérez's Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen qualified fourth ahead of Ocon in fifth and George Russell in sixth place. While Schumacher was subsequently medically cleared to race, Haas opted to run just one car (with Kevin Magnussen driving) because repairing Schumacher's heavily damaged car would have compromised his ability to compete normally at the Australian Grand Prix due to a limited supply of spare parts during the three fly-away races at the start of the season.[32][33]
^2 – Mick Schumacher qualified 14th, but his car was withdrawn following a crash, and he did not take the start. Drivers who qualified behind him gained a grid position as he officially did not progress beyond qualifying.[36]
^3 – Yuki Tsunoda failed to set a time during qualifying, but he was permitted to race at the stewards' discretion.[35]
Race
The race was started at 20:00 AST (UTC+03:00) on 27 March and lasted for 50 laps.[3]Yuki Tsunoda's car suffered a power unit issue on the way to the grid, preventing him from starting the race.[37] Pérez initially led from pole position ahead of Leclerc, Verstappen, and Sainz for 14 laps.[5] On lap 15, Nicholas Latifi retired after hitting the wall,[38] which brought out the safety car and occurred just after Pérez made a pitstop;[39] Leclerc and Verstappen were able to make their pit stops under safety car conditions, allowing them to rejoin in front of Pérez,[5] who illegally passed Sainz, who had also pitted and came out ahead of him, and had to give back position when race resumed.[5][40][41]
During much of the race, the midfield was close; there was a hard-fought battle between Alpine's Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon for quite a few laps where they swapped positions multiple times. The battle ended after Ocon was given orders to hold position.[42] On laps 35 and 36, Alonso, Daniel Ricciardo, and Valtteri Bottas all retired within moments of each other due to unrelated mechanical issues.[5][43] Leclerc could not keep Verstappen out of DRS after his tyres cooled down when a virtual safety car was called out on lap 37.[44][45] As the race direction declared the pit lane closed until race resumed, Lewis Hamilton was precluded from a time-advantage pit stop, dropping him from 6th to 12th.[5]
On laps 42–43,[5] Leclerc and Verstappen started a DRS battle,[39][46] in which at turn 27 neither driver wanted to take the lead and be vulnerable to a DRS attack in the straight to turn 1.[47] Verstappen took a full lap lead by lap 46.[5] On lap 47, there was a collision between Alexander Albon and Lance Stroll, ending Albon's race.[5]Yellow flags on turn 1 after the Albon–Stroll incident precluded Leclerc for a DRS offensive on lap 48,[5] and Verstappen won the race, with Sainz completing the podium.[48] After the race, Kevin Magnussen, Sainz, and Pérez were investigated for failure to slow down after yellow flags; however, no penalties were handed out.[5] It was Verstappen's first win of the season and 21st overall.[49] It was also Hamilton's 180th race start with Mercedes, surpassing Michael Schumacher's record for most started races with a single team.[50]
From the Australian Grand Prix onwards, the FIA would clamp down on the kinds of tactics Verstappen had employed during the safety car restart, where he aggressively accelerated, braked, and drew alongside Leclerc, trying to seek a tactical advantage, following similar incidents at the 2021 Abu Dhabi and 2022 Bahrain Grands Prix, with drivers expected to drive in a consistent manner during race restarts.[51]

Nonparametric measure of rank correlation A Spearman correlation of 1 {\textstyle 1} results when the two variables being compared are monotonically related, even if their relationship is not linear. This means that all data points with greater x {\textstyle x} values than that of a given data point will have greater y {\textstyle y} values as well. In contrast, this does not give a perfect Pearson correlation.When the data are roughly elliptically distributed and there are no prominent outliers…
