Formula 1 starts in 2022 with the first race on March 18-20 in Bahrain at the Sakhir circuit, the second race of the season will be in Saudi Arabia between March 25-27 in Jeddah. After those first two races of the new season the teams travel to Melbourne for the third race in 2022 between 08-10 April.

The first race in Europe will probably be in the Emilia Romagna at the Imola circuit on 06-08 May and twelve days later they start the practice and qualifying sessions in Miami, on a special circuit in Miami Gardens. That race in Florida is one of the most anticipated for the upcoming season, especially after so many delays.

The teams will return to Europe after the first race in Miami, the sixth race of the 2022 Formula One Calendar will be in Spain (Barcelona) from May 20 to 22. The criticism did not stop on the new calendar since it was expected that Formula 1 would pollute less with the international travels of teams and cars.
