- Programme presents a potentially gruelling test for teams
- Australia, Japan, Canada and Singapore set to return
Formula One has confirmed its calendar for 2022, with a record-breaking 23 races planned. The programme presents a potentially gruelling test for the teams, with one more race than this year but running across a shorter period and including two triple-headers.
The calendar was ratified by the World Motor Sport Council on Friday. It will open in Bahrain on 20 March and conclude in Abu Dhabi on 20 November, a 36-week period. This year the season will finish in Abu Dhabi on 12 December but F1 wanted to avoid its 2022 season finale clashing with the World Cup, which will begin in Qatar on 21 November.
