1BahrainSakhir / March 18-20 Our first look at the new 2022 F1 cars in race conditions. Bahrain has been a dramatic round in recent seasons. |
2Saudi ArabiaJeddah / March 25-27 Changes to barriers have been made to improve visibility through corners after concerns over safety during the first race |
3AustraliaAlbert Park, Melbourne / April 8-10 First race on the new layout. Changes have been made to Turns 9, 10, 13 and 15 in hope of adding overtaking spots |
 |
 |
 |
4Emilia RomagnaImola , Italy / April 22-24 The old-school layout means overtaking has been tough since F1 returned but can the new regulations change that? |
5MiamiFlorida, USA / May 6-8 New street circuit around the Dolphins NFL stadium. Turns 14-16 are tight but average lap speed expected to be 140mph |
6SpainBarcelona-Catalunya / May 20-22 A circuit in which overtaking is hardly frequent, but changes to Turn 10 hairpin could work better with new 2022 cars |
 |
 |
 |
7MonacoCircuit de Monaco / May 27-29 Four of the last six winners haven’t come from pole. Despite the expected parade, there’s usually drama along the way |
8AzerbaijanBaku / June 10-12 Usually one of the more chaotic races. Less dirty air from 2022 cars could increase overtaking and unpredictability |
9CanadaMontreal / June 17-19 F1 returns to Canada for the first time since 2019. Mercedes has failed to win on just two occasions in the turbo hybrid era here |
 |
 |
 |
10Great BritainSilverstone / July 1-3 The top teams were closely matched in 2021 but Silverstone will be a speed showcase for what the new cars can do |
11AustriaSpielberg / July 8-10 The circuit has been a Red Bull stronghold in recent seasons while the location makes it a second home race for Max Verstappen |
12FrancePaul Ricard / July 22-24 Usually a venue that favours Mercedes but exciting races at Paul Ricard are possible as 2021 proved with Red Bull victorious |
 |
 |
 |
13HungaryHungaroring / July 29-31 Despite lack of overtaking opportunities, the Hungaroring has provided drama in recent season |
14BelgiumSpa-Francorchamps / August 26-28 Extensive rework and return of gravel traps in several sections means there will be an old-school feel at Spa this year |
15NetherlandsZandvoort / September 2-4 Dirty air caused a problem with overtaking but Red Bull and Mercedes were separated by a knife edge in ’21 |
 |
 |
|
16ItalyMonza / September 9-11 Pierre Gasly and Daniel Ricciardo were surprise winners in the past two years. Will there be a repeat in 2022? |
17TBCn/a / September 23-25 The Russian Grand Prix has been cancelled following the invasion of Ukraine, leaving the date vacant for now. |
18SingaporeMarina Bay / September 30-October 2 First Singapore Grand Prix since 2019. To date, Sebastian Vettel’s win in ’19 stands as the most recent Ferrari victory in Formula 1 |
 |
 |
 |
19JapanSuzuka / October 7-9 The fan favourite is back after a Covid absence. The Japanese GP has been won by a Mercedes driver every year since ’14 |
20United StatesAustin, Texas / October 21-23 Closely fought between Red Bull and Mercedes in ’21. DRS zones follow twisty bits, but new rules could help overtaking |
21MexicoMexico City / October 28-30 The middle sector strings cars out but there’s plenty of DRS available to get overtaking done into Turns 1 and 4 |
 |
 |
|
22São PauloInterlagos / November 11-13 The flowing first sector creates great wheel-to-wheel racing as Verstappen and Hamilton proved last season |
23Abu DhabiYas Marina / November 18-20 The changes to the circuit were designed with 2022 cars in mind so might we get a close Abu Dhabi GP this season? |
