Rules

Formula 1 will introduce a major overhaul of its technical regulations in 2022. The changes, intended to allow cars to run more closely together and aid overtaking, have been under discussion for several years.

The new rules were originally due for introduction in 2021. However following the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the decision was taken to postpone their introduction as a cost-saving measure.

See below for more on the confirmed and potential changes to the F1 sporting and technical rules for the 2022 championship:

• The hidden challenges of F1’s biggest change to its power unit rules since 2014
• FIA increases minimum weight of new F1 cars for 2022 again
• F1 set for season-opening sprint race in 2022 with more points on offer
