Red Bull's Max Verstappen won the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi as Ferrari's Charles Leclerc beat the Dutchman's team-mate Sergio Perez to secure second in the championship.
Leclerc, who was Verstappen's title rival earlier this year before Ferrari's season imploded in a flood of errors and reliability failures, held off Perez on divergent strategies to take second place.
Sebastian Vettel's final race ended in disappointment, the four-time champion bemoaning what he felt was a poor strategy from Aston Martin.
Vettel took the final point for 10th place after Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes retired from fourth place with three laps to go.
Hamilton's result means he has finished a season without a win for the first time in his career - ending a record only he held.
Verstappen's win was his 15th of 2022, extending the new record he has set this year for wins in a single season.
