Our first look at the new 2022 F1 cars in race conditions. Bahrain has been a dramatic round in recent seasons.

Changes to barriers have been made to improve visibility through corners after concerns over safety during the first race

Imola Emilia Romagna Circuit Miami Grand Prix Circuitt BArcelona Grand Prix circuit

4

Emilia Romagna

Imola , Italy / April 22-24

The old-school layout means overtaking has been tough since F1 returned but can the new regulations change that?

5

Miami

Florida, USA / May 6-8

New street circuit around the Dolphins NFL stadium. Turns 14-16 are tight but average lap speed expected to be 140mph

6

Spain

Barcelona-Catalunya / May 20-22

A circuit in which overtaking is hardly frequent, but changes to Turn 10 hairpin could work better with new 2022 cars

 

Monaco Circuit Baku Circuit Montreal circuit

7

Monaco

Circuit de Monaco / May 27-29

Four of the last six winners haven’t come from pole. Despite the expected parade, there’s usually drama along the way

Usually one of the more chaotic races. Less dirty air from 2022 cars could increase overtaking and unpredictability

9

Canada

Montreal / June 17-19

F1 returns to Canada for the first time since 2019. Mercedes has failed to win on just two occasions in the turbo hybrid era here

 

Silverstone Circuit Red Bull ring Circuit Paul Ricard Circuit

Great Britain

Silverstone / July 1-3

The top teams were closely matched in 2021 but Silverstone will be a speed showcase for what the new cars can do

Spielberg / July 8-10

The circuit has been a Red Bull stronghold in recent seasons while the location makes it a second home race for Max Verstappen

12

France

Paul Ricard / July 22-24

Usually a venue that favours Mercedes but exciting races at Paul Ricard are possible as 2021 proved with Red Bull victorious

Hungaroring / July 29-31

Despite lack of overtaking opportunities, the Hungaroring has provided drama in recent season

Spa-Francorchamps / August 26-28

Extensive rework and return of gravel traps in several sections means there will be an old-school feel at Spa this year

15

Netherlands

Zandvoort / September 2-4

Dirty air caused a problem with overtaking but Red Bull and Mercedes were separated by a knife edge in ’21

 

Monza circuit Singapore Marina Bay circuit

16

Italy

Monza / September 9-11

Pierre Gasly and Daniel Ricciardo were surprise winners in the past two years. Will there be a repeat in 2022?

Closely fought between Red Bull and Mercedes in ’21. DRS zones follow twisty bits, but new rules could help overtaking

21

The middle sector strings cars out but there’s plenty of DRS available to get overtaking done into Turns 1 and 4

 

Interlagos Sao Paolo circuit Abu Dhabi Yas Marina circuit

São Paulo

Interlagos / November 11-13

The flowing first sector creates great wheel-to-wheel racing as Verstappen and Hamilton proved last season

23

Abu Dhabi

Yas Marina / November 18-20

The changes to the circuit were designed with 2022 cars in mind so might we get a close Abu Dhabi GP this season?
