2022 Formula 1 calendar

Max Verstappen was the drivers champion for 2021 after a season long battle with Lewis Hamilton, but now we look ahead to the 2022 season.

The new F1 technical rules for 2022 are major changes where a very comprehensive set of new rules apply.

The changes for this year include :-

Major changes in aerodynamics with much reliance on a ground effect floor.
A lower Budget cap of $142.4 million per team (was $147.4 million).
New tyre regulations where tyres are now 18 inch diameter (was 13 inch) and the heating blanket temperatures have been reduced.
Frozen power units

Driver changes Driver's leaving F1 are Kimi Raikkonen (Alfa Romeo), Antonio Giovinazzi (Alfa Romeo) and Nikita Mazepin (Haas).

Driver's joining F1 are Kevin Magnussen (Haas), Alexander Albon (Williams) and Zhou Guanyu (Alfa Romeo).

Driver's moving teams are :-

Will the new rules shake up the previous year's team performance pecking order ?
Will the teams overcome the porpoising seen with the new ground effect floors ?
Can Ferrari beat Mercedes this year ?
How will Valtteri Bottas perform in his new Alfa Romeo team ?

All these questions and more will be answered during the 2022 season.
