2022 FORMULA 1

23 Race Schedule
Bigger 18-inch Wheels
Better Aerodynamics
Same engine but more sustainable fuel
Faster Racing?
What do you think?

PS: So what do we call this new era?
The 18inch wheels era?

Pretty sure Hot Wheels designed the new F1 cars.

Red Bull’s famed team engineer and race car designer Adrian Newey said that 2022 will bring the biggest changes in Formula1 in the last 4 decades

Since aerodynamics is the KEY element change, will Red Bull have a bigger advantage over Mercedes, given they will all have the same power unit from before?

My guess is no.

Based on the last 4 races, I'd say Mercedes definitely had the advantage over Red Bull, not the other way around. Furthermore, I'm convinced Mercedes sprinkled some magic pixie dust over Lewis's new engine in Brazil. Whatever they did, I felt the Mercedes engine was superior to Honda's at the end of the season. So I'll be quite surprised if Mercedes still isn't the team to beat at the start of 2022.

2022 FORMULA 1

23 Race Schedule

I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling due to Omicron and the on-going pandemic, this schedule will have changes and the number of races will be less than 23.

Yeah, we were all hoping 2021 would be a return to normality and we all know that went out the window!

I was Wanting to go back to Singapore for 2022 but looks like it's too risky to even think about.
Will have to settle for Melbourne as my one and only for 2022.

This is why they engaged the aviation engineer.

Meanwhile… the 2022 Mercedes-AMG F1 W13 is already alive!
Probably the first 2022 F1 car to do that

Just want to know why is there some “uncertainty” whether Hamilton will continue in 2022 or not? Remember he immediately renewed to a 2-year contract at the middle of 2021 when seeing intense battles with Red Bull & Max, in contrast to a late contract renegotiation prior to 2021

Why is there always drama with LH? He hasn’t moved on? He is 7-time world champion and gets upset with a new one? Just like when Nico defeated him in 2016 I guess.

 

[Aquagraph]

I guess he feels like 'what's the point' of doing it again... or maybe he just thinks the best way to get his own back on F1 is to remove their star driver?

 

[Pitfitter446]

In his mind at least?

 

[Aquagraph]

Well, he is a seven time champion after all. But it's funny how quickly you're not missed once you leave...

 

[Pitfitter446]

Who?

Is it 2022 yet.

 

[Aquagraph]

DId anybody miss Nico Rosberg in 2017?

Yes, I did. Without Nico to challenge Lewis, the seasons have been so boring until this last season.

 

[Albert-AMG]

The 2021 season without Max or without Lewis would have been very boring.

Both have been at a level well above the rest, and one without the other, would have won the championship without any opposition… Seeing the difference in points, both have more than 6 Grand Prix advantage over the third classified.



Both have made this season so competitive. Not only their own fans would miss one of them, all F1 fans would miss that fight.
