MORE F2 RACES IN 2022

In 2022 the FIA Formula 2 Championship will be expanded to be contested over 14 rounds and 28 races.

The Formula 1 feeder series will feature as the primary support category at all but one of the F1 races that will be held across Europe and the Middle East next year, skipping only the French Grand Prix.

Next season the Formula 2 will revert back to a two-race format used prior to this season, which sees an expansion on the current eight-round schedule reducing the lengthy gaps in this years competition.

“I am pleased to present the largest calendar we have ever had in Formula 2, with 14 rounds and 28 races.” said Bruno Michel, Formula 2 CEO.

“This results from a strong will from our stakeholders to have F2 race alongside as many Formula 1 Grand Prix as possible.”

“A lot of circuits have expressed their interest to have our championship added to their race weekend program, but for costs reasons, we cannot increase the number of rounds more than we already have.”

“This calendar will of course induce an increase of our teams’ budgets, but we will support them so that they are able to manage the extra costs.”

The 2022 season will commence alongside the opening Formula 1 round in Bahrain in March and conclude at the F1 finale in Abu Dhabi in November.

Oscar Piastri currently leads the 2021 Formula 2 standings. While the Australian will be unable to return to the series should he win, fellow compatriots Jack Doohan and Calan Williams are looking to make to step up to F2 next season, as reported in the current issue of Auto Action.
