- F1 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix: When i⛦s it? How 🎉can I watch?
The ♉2022 Formula 1 season is finally here as the action gets underway at the&n🃏bsp;Bahrain International Circuit.
Over the years, Bahrain has been great for wheel-to-wheel action so the Sakhir circuit will be a great way to introduce F1's new era🅷 of cars.
The cars are completely different for this year with🧸 new technical regulations introduced to level the playing field and make overtaking easier.
The sa𓃲me teams appear to b🔯e at the front with Red Bull enjoying a strong second pre-season test as Max Verstappen looks to defend the drivers' championship.

𒐪Ferrari had its best pre-season campaign in years with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz consisten🀅tly at the front of the timesheets.
The Scuderia hasn't won since 2019 nor ha🧜s it tasted championsဣhip glory since 2008.
Eight-time constructors' champions Mercedes appears to be on♔ the back foot going into Bahrain with it most afඣfected by porpoising - the bouncing movement at high speed.
McLaren is best placed to challenge outside the top three teams after coming away from Barcelona very co💞nfident.
However, the Woking outf🦩it struggled in Bahrain due to a recurring brake issue which curtailed the team's running.
The tea𒆙m was also impacted by Daniel Ricciardo's absence after he tested positive fo🌼r COVID-19.
