Formula 2 & Formula 3 calendars announced for 2022

For 2022, F2 and F3 will revert back to a two-race per weekend format after the scheduling for 2021 proved unpopular with fans due to the lengthy breaks between rounds and the second sprint race not adding to the show.

As a result, F2 and F3 will support F1 together at the following races: Bahrain, Imola, Spain, Britain, Austria, Hungary, Netherlands and Italy. 

F2 will contest 14 rounds, starting with Bahrain and ending in Abu Dhabi, while F3 will finish their season at Monza - nine rounds in total.

Speaking about the F2 calendar for 2022, CEO Bruno Michel said: “I am pleased to present the largest calendar we have ever had in Formula 2, with fourteen rounds and 28 races. This results from a strong will from our stakeholders to have F2 race alongside as many Formula One Grand Prix as possible. 

“A lot of circuits have expressed their interest to have our championship added to their race weekend programme, 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.”

Commenting on the F3 calendar, Michel added: "Our 2022 Formula 3 season will start at the Bahrain International Circuit, at the opening round of the FIA Formula One World Championship and the new Formula 2 campaign. It will be very exciting to start all together. Formula 3 will be present at two more Formula One Grand Prix in 2022 than in 2021. It will allow our drivers to race on additional F1 tracks compared to the most recent campaign, and to be with F2 and F1 at every event. As we announced it last month, we will introduce a new race weekend format from next season, with two races per event, the Feature Race taking place on Sunday."
