The Chinese Grand Prix is set to be dropped from the Formula One calendar in 2022, according to reports.
The Chinese Grand Prix 2022 is a race that will be dropped from the F1 calendar in 2022.
The 2019 Chinese Grand Prix was won by Lewis Hamilton.
When the schedule for next year’s Formula One season is released on Friday, the Chinese Grand Prix is likely to be eliminated.
Since the coronavirus epidemic started, the Shanghai race has not been conducted, and the regulations around Covid in China make it difficult to do so.
On April 24, it will be replaced by the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.
All of the other established races that were missing this season will be restored, giving F1 a record 23-race schedule.
In 2022, races will be held in Australia, Canada, Singapore, and Japan.
Because to their various national limitations around Covid-19, all four nations have missed the past two seasons.
The 2022 season will span 35 weeks, beginning in Bahrain on March 20 and ending in Abu Dhabi on November 20.
To avoid a conflict with the football World Cup in Qatar, the tournament will conclude three weeks sooner than this year.
It also included the inaugural race in Miami, a blue-ribbon event conducted in conjunction to the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, with the hopes of increasing F1’s popularity in the United States.
F1 released a 23-race schedule this year, but had to make changes when a number of nations decided they couldn’t host races in the midst of the epidemic.
Despite the cancellations of events in Australia, China, Canada, Singapore, and Japan, 22 races will be conducted this year.
F1 believes the odds of this occurring again next year are little to none.
If the conditions surrounding the virus alter, Japan, which has managed to keep Covid under control following a summer spike that corresponded with the Tokyo Olympics, is seen as the event most likely to collapse.
Australia has been shifted from its usual position at the start of the season to the third race to allow it more time to prepare for the grand prix. Australia has among of the world’s most severe Covid travel restrictions.
There will be more’sprint’ racing weekends in the future.
In July, F1’s new Sprint format debuted at Silverstone.
F1 has been considering the possibility of expanding the number of races using the new’sprint’ format with its governing body, the FIA, and the teams.
Two of these events, which shift qualifying to Friday and include a one-third distance race on Saturday to establish the grid for the main grand prix, have already taken place this year, with a third planned for next month in Brazil.
At the F1 Commission meeting on Wednesday, F1 and the teams addressed the possibility of six’sprint’ races next year.
However, talks are still continuing, and the main point of contention is the sport’s budget limit.
Mercedes, Red Bull, and Ferrari claim that sprint events are more costly because they have two races instead of one, and they want the budget limit to stay at $145 million (£114 million) if there are six sprint events, rather than being reduced to $140 million as planned.
Other clubs are unhappy with the notion of maintaining the budget limit at the same level as last year, and a solution has yet to be found.
It has not yet been determined which races would host the sprint events in 2022, but F1 is working on a strategy that includes a mix of classic events like Silverstone and higher-paying new circuits like those in the Middle East.
There have also been talks about raising the amount of points given in Saturday’s’sprint’ race and reversing the decision to award pole position to the’sprint’ race winner rather than the driver who sets the quickest time in qualifying.
The Formula One schedule for 2022 is expected to be released soon.
