The season is drawing to an end with four races to go before the finale in Abu Dhabi. As always, Formula 1 keeps one foot in the future, as the 2022 season brings a lot of changes with it. This will also include the very first time we would see the redesigned cars hit the tarmac- the pre-season testings. The two tests will be held as usual, but with changes in its media coverage and location.
The 2022 F1 cars will have their first round of testing at Barcelona, held between the 23rd and 25th of February. However, the cars will not be unveiled then. The session will have no media coverage barring a summary at the end of each day. This will expand the print and online media viewership.
