Calendar changes
- Cancelled Grands Prix in 2021 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, namely the Argentine, Finnish, Japanese, Thailand, Australian, and Malaysian Grands Prix, are scheduled to return in 2022. Consequently, the Grands Prix held in 2021 that replaced the aforementioned cancelled races, namely the Doha, Styrian, Emilia Romagna, and Algarve Grands Prix, are not scheduled to return in 2022.[29]
- The previously mentioned Finnish Grand Prix will return to the calendar after a 39-year absence. The venue hosting the round will be the new Kymi Ring, instead of the Tampere Circuit used in 1962 and 1963 or the Imatra Circuit which hosted the round until 1982. The Grand Prix was included on both the 2020 and 2021 calendar, but both races were cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The Indonesian Grand Prix will return to the calendar after a 24-year absence. The venue hosting the round will be the new Mandalika International Street Circuit, instead of the Sentul International Circuit used in 1996 and 1997. The Grand Prix was included in the 2021 calendar as a Reserve Grand Prix, but was ultimately dropped before the end of the season.
- The Brazilian Grand Prix that is scheduled to return in 2022 is not included in the provisional calendar.[45][29]
