The tallest 2022 F1 driver is…

Which F1 team has the tallest driver line-up in 2022? Who is the tallest driver, who is the shortest, and what is the combined height of this year’s grid? We have all the answers!

If the drivers on the 2022 grid all stood on each other’s heads in an impressive acrobatic circus act, their total height would be 35.37 metres. That’s double the size of Abraham Lincoln’s face on Mount Rushmore.

Esteban Ocon and Alex Albon are tied as the tallest drivers on the 2022 grid, standing at 186cm. Overall, the 2022 grid is 1cm shorter than last year’s grid, accounting for the departure of Kimi Raikkonen, Antonio Giovinazzi and Nikita Mazepin, plus the arrival of Guanyu Zhou and the returns of Alex Albon and Kevin Magnussen.

Yuki Tsunoda is the shortest driver to race in Formula 1 this millennium, standing at 159cm – 4cm shorter than next shortest driver Anthony Davidson. The second shortest driver in 2022 is Lando Norris, who is 11cm taller than Tsunoda.
