- F1 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix: When is it? How ca🐼n I watch?
The 2022 Formula 1 season is finally here as the act𓆉ion gets underway at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Over the years, Bahrain has been great for wheel-to-wheel action so the Sakhir circuit will be a great way to introduce F1's new era of 🌳cars.
The cars are completely different for this year with new ⛄technical regulations introduced to level the playing field and make overtakinꦰg easier.
The same teams appear to be at the front with Red Bull enjoying a strong second pre-season test as Max൲ Verstappen looks to defend the drivers' chamꦕpionship.
The Dutchman set a number of blistering laps 𝓀on the final day of F1 testing in Bahrain when Red Bull introduced some new upgrades.
Ferrari had its best pre-season campaign in years with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz consistently at the front oಞf the timesheets.
The Scuder🥀ia hasn't won since 2019 nor has it t⛄asted championship glory since 2008.
Eight-time constructors' champions Mercedes appears to ൲be on the back footܫ going into Bahrain with it most affected by porpoising - the bouncing movement at high speed.
McL😼aren is best placed to challenge outside the top three teams after coming away from Barcelona very confident.
However, the Wokinܫg outfit struggled in Bahrain due to a recurring brake issue which curtailed the team's running.
The team was also impacted🧸 by Daniel Ricciardo's absence after he tꦍested positive for COVID-19.
The midfield is impossible to predict with Haas and Alfa Romeo 🍎showing impressive pace at times, while Alpine, Aston Martin and AlphaTauri have traditionally led the midfield in recent years.
Recent Bahrain GP winners:
2021 - Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
2020 - Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
