F1 qualifying head to heads - Final 2022 Rankings
How the team-mate battles are shaping up
Max Verstappen scored his seventh pole position as the final qualifying session of the season reached its conclusion.
Abu Dhabi saw the final team-mate battles of the season reach their conclusion with some a close fight and others a far more one-sided affair.
Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc all led their opposite numbers at the Yas Marina Circuit while Fernando Alonso made a rare Q2 exit.
In qualifying, of course, the first rival any F1 driver wants to beat is his team-mate, so did the battles shape up after 22 sessions this season?
These stats are purely based on qualifying and do not reflect grid penalties applied for the race itself.
