F1 announces official start times for 2022 season
The calendar features 23 races stretching from Bahrain in March to Abu Dhabi in▨ November💧.
It’s record-breaking in terms of length with Miami featuring on it for the first time, meaning there is two races in the 🥂United States.
For 2022, race weekends have been adjusted to just three days (Friday to Sunday) with media sessions now t🐠aking place on Friday.
This means second practice takes place at a later time slot than usu🌠al, while the rest of the weekend remains relatively unchanged.
The removal⭕ of Thursday is a consequence of the longer race calendar with F1 keen to add more races to the calendar, with Qatar to return in 2023 and the United States potentially hosting a third grand prix in the future.
2022 sees the return of Australia, Japan and Singapore after not featuring in the last two seasons due to꧟ the ongoing coron🐓avirus pandemic.
