The new season of Formula 1 warms up engines. Like every year, the arrival of February is synonymous with team presentations and, most importantly, the first tests of the year, which will mark the future of the brands in the competition. What’s more, this 2022 will be more important than ever before a season of changes where everything is open. The big brands will continue with the intention of winning: Red Bull wants to revalidate, Mercedes seeks revenge and Ferrari dreams of fighting for the title again. However, small manufacturers are also looking for their place.

F1 test schedule
In addition to the team presentations, the Formula 1 preseason will be marked by tests, where the teams will test the cars they will use during a season full of changes, due to the entry of a new regulation. For this reason, the tests of this 2022 will be key to a course that is as exciting as it is unpredictable, with the hope of seeing a much tighter F1. This winter will have two tests:
- February 23 to 25, at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
- March 11 to 13, at the Sakhir International Circuit
F1 season schedule
After the presentations and the pre-season tests, hehe action in Formula 1 will begin at the end of March, at the Sakhir circuit (Bahrain), from Friday the 18th to Sunday the 20th, with the first big race of the year. The season, the longest in the history of the big circus, will put its final touch in Abu Dhabi, just eight months later, from November 18 to 20.
