The 2022 Formula One World Championship will be the most intense season in the history of the sport. With 22 race weekends packed into an eight-month schedule that criss-crosses the globe, the drivers, team members, media and everybody else in the motorsport fraternity will be working extra hard this year.
There’s a fascinating battle unfolding on track. Coming off the back of a dramatic 2021 when Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton waged a year-long battle that was settled in the final lap of the final race, we’ve got a whole new season of competition this year.
Young stars like George Russell, Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris are doing an outstanding job of taking the fight to established world champions such as Hamilton, Verstappen, Fernando Alonso and others. F1’s popularity around the globe has exploded, thanks in no small measure to the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive, with record spectators at pretty much every race we’ve been to this year, and a television audience that’s back on the rise after a few years when people got bored of the predictability of Hamilton’s wins.
