All you need to know about F1 2022

The time has come, F1 22 is about to be revealed. Codemasters' official unveiling of the next game in the series will take place on Thursday, March 4 at 7 pm GMT/11 am PT. The big reveal will happen over on the F1 YouTube channel, so make sure you're subscribed if you want to watch live.

There's no news on what will be shown at this stage, but we suspect Codemasters has got a few surprises up its sleeve - after all, it's been teasing us with the number 22 for a while now.

While Codemasters hasn't announced which platforms F1 22 will be available for yet, we can safely assume that it'll appear on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. There have also been rumours that it could also launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S as well.

We can't wait to find out more about F1 22 and see what new features have made their way into the game. Will there be classic cars? Will we finally get a story mode? And will there be an expanded career mode? We'll find out soon enough!

Massive reveal for F1 22 coming April 21, 2022

The FIA has confirmed that the engine rules for the 2020-2022 period will be announced at a special briefing on April 21 in London. The meeting is expected to confirm the introduction of a budget cap in 2021 and outline the rules for the next three seasons. All six manufacturers are expected to attend, along with F1 sporting boss Ross Brawn and engine importers Honda, Renault and Porsche. The major change for 2021 is the budget cap, which is aimed at reducing costs and making it easier for new teams to enter F1. The cap figures have been gradually revealed over recent months and were confirmed as £150m last month, when Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said Ferrari had agreed to it. The 2021 rules will also include standardised parts, including transmissions, batteries and control electronics. This should help new teams get up to speed more quickly as they will not need to design their own parts or hire expensive staff to do so.

F1 2022 reveal times

The next season of Formula 1 will begin with a bang as the sport reveals its new cars at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday. The show, which runs from March 6 to March 17 this year, will be one of the biggest events in the motorsport calendar.

Tentatively named as "Gen2", they will replace the current power units and make overtaking easier, according to F1 bosses.

As with previous seasons, each team will reveal their car on their own social media channels but this time around there has been a slight change of plan. Instead of revealing them all at once, teams have been told to reveal their new cars in order of their position in last year's championship standings.

This means that reigning world champions Mercedes will unveil their car first on February 19, before Ferrari follow suit later that day. Red Bull have been forced to wait a little longer as they finished third in 2017, delaying their unveiling until February 23.

The following day both McLaren and Renault will show off their new machines. The second half of the season begins on March 10th with the first pre-season test in Spain.

As we approach the launch of the 2021 season, attention is starting to turn towards what the sport will look like in three years' time, when F1's new regulations, mandated by the sport's owners, come into effect.

Talks about what the cars will look like under these new rules have been going on for a while – and it was repeatedly claimed that we'd get to see them unveiled this year. However, with that not happening yet there are rumours that they could be revealed as soon as January 2019.

A report from Auto Motor und Sport has confirmed that we'll be getting an official glimpse of the cars sometime early next year, but it's still not clear whether it will be in January or at February's Geneva Motor Show.

The article states that there are two different versions of the car being considered by teams – one with a shark fin engine cover and another without – which means sorting out its aerodynamic implications is taking longer than anticipated.
