Formula 1 has today presented the calendar for the F1 season 2022. In addition, a record number of no less than 23 races, including the new race in Miami.
The 2022 F1 calendar will return some races that were canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, such as Australia, Canada and Japan. Singapore will also return, after a vote on whether or not a race will take place in Singapore or Turkey. In the end, Singapore got the most votes.
However, unlike in previous years, Australia will not be the opening race of the season, which honors as this year will go to Bahrain. For logistical reasons, this is a better choice.
After all, there will first be a five-day F1 test in Barcelona (21 to 25 February) prior to the season. A second F1 test will then take place in Bahrain from March 10-12.
This means that the teams have almost three times as many test days as this season. No superfluous luxury, knowing that due to a new technical regulation, completely new F1 cars will be driven next year.
Just like this year, the GP of Belgium is scheduled for the end of August, making it the first race of a so-called triple header. After all, three races take place in three weeks, together with the Netherlands and Italy.
