Two fifth places at COTA and the Argentinian Grand Prix and an eight place in
portimao were followed up until Jerez, a track where Bagnaia has had success earlier in his career. He dominated the weekend, taking a record-breaking pole position[16] and then leading from start to finish, picking up the second grand slam of his career.[17] At Le Mans, Bagnaia once again dominated initially, leading the majority of the race; however, he was eventually caught up by Enea Bastianini who won the race, and Bagnaia crashed out of with seven laps to go. The next race at Mugello Bagnaia had more of a mediocre start, Qualifying in 5th spot he eventually caught up and passed Marco Bezzecchi to the lead the remainder of the race for his 2nd win of the season.
In Catalunya, Bagnaia was running 3rd and was one of the favourites to take the victory but was taken out alongside Alex Rins by Takaaki Nakagami heading into the first corner, the race was won by Fabio Quartararo. Looking to bounce back at Sachsenring, Bagnaia however slid out from 2nd place on Lap 3. He was now at a 91- point deficit to Quartararo, the championship leader, and stood in 6th place in championship at the exact halfway point of the season.
After that race he turned his season around strongly. He went on to win the next 4 races in Netherlands, Great Britain, at Red Bull Ring and Misano. He made history as the first Ducati rider and only the 4th rider in the MotoGP era to do so.[18] The others being multi worldchampions Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo.[19] He had gained 61 points on Fabio Quartararo in 4 races collecting a maximum of 100 points.
At Aragón Bagnaia aimed for a fifth win in a row but had to settle for second to Enea Bastianini with a margin of just 0.042 seconds, being overtaken on the final lap. In a race where Fabio Quartararo crashed-out after riding into the back of Marc Marquez on the opening lap, Bagnaia once more managed to decrease the gap by 20 points. Heading to Motegi with a 10-point deficit.
At the Japanese Grand Prix, while running in 9th position just behind Quartararo, Bagnaia crashed out of the race on the final lap, allowing Quartararo, who finished the race in 8th place, to increase his lead in the championship over Bagnaia to 18 points with 4 races to go in the season.
In the Thai Grand Prix at Buriram and the Australian Grand Prix at Philip Island, Bagnaia finished in 3rd place while Quartararo failed to score on both occasions, leaving Bagnaia 14 points ahead of him with 2 races to go. At the Malaysian Grand Prix, Bagnaia could win the championship if he outscored Quartararo by 11 points. He picked up the 7th victory of his season after a poor qualifying session but Quartararo finishing in 3rd meant that the title would go down to the final round with a 23-point advantage for Bagnaia.
2023 Bagnaia will continue with Ducati for 2023 and 2024 alongside a new teammate, Enea Bastianini who replaces Jack Miller.[20][21]

On 5 July 2022, Bagnaia was involved in a DUI crash in the early morning on the Spanish island of Ibiza. It was reported that he failed a breathalyser test, with his blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit for driving in Spain.[23] Bagnaia stated he left a nighclub at around 3 am, and failed to negotiate a roundabout, with the car ending the journey with the front end off the road. He stated he was celebrating a race win at Assen, and was normally a very light drinker.[24]
