The final qualifying session of the 2022 Formula 1 season is over. With that, the biggest winners and losers are also known in the direct qualifying duel with their teammate.
The big winners in qualifying duels
Some F1 teams have been fairly evenly matched this season, but others have seen big differences. Max Verstappen, for instance, beat his teammate Sergio Perez 18 times, but Charles Leclerc, Sebastian Vettel, Valtteri Bottas and Kevin Magnussen also prevailed over their teammate most of the time.
However, none of the aforementioned drivers beat their teammate as often as Lando Norris and Alexander Albon. They were faster in no less than 19 qualifying sessions than their respective teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Nicholas Latifi, neither of whom will have a permanent seat on the F1 grid next year. Had Albon not had to sit out the Italian Grand Prix, he might have made it 20, making him the big winner.
