THE Portugal Grand Prix and the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (AIA) are not present in the first “sketch” of the 2022 Formula 1 World Cup, which has just been released by the Italian sports newspaper “La Gazzetta dello Sport”.
In this still provisional calendar of the Formula 1 World Cup for 2022, there is no reference to the GP of Portugal, which took place in two consecutive years, 2020 and 2021, in Portimão, nor are the qualifying races that F1 debuted this year. year.
However, next season, which marks the debut of new single-seaters, we will have a record number of Grand Prix races, 23, with the start of the season set for March 20 in Sakhir, Bahrain.
With the Covid-19 pandemic increasingly under control, the next season will also mark the return to the Formula 1 World Championship of events that were canceled in recent years, which allowed for a Portuguese GP to have taken place in its place.
We talk about the races in Australia, China, Canada and Japan, as well as the debut of the Miami city circuit, in the United States of America.
However, in this first “sketch” published by the aforementioned Italian publication, there are still two doubts to be clarified: GP of France (Paul Ricard) or GP of Emilia-Romagna (Imola), on July 17th; Turkish GP (Istanbul) or Singapore GP (Marina Bay) on 2 October.
