Todt looking forward to new 2022 F1 cars: 'That will be an exciting showcase'

On Friday 15 October, Formula 1 announced the official calendar for the 2022 season. As expected, it contains a record number of 23 races, including six sprint weekends. The latter, however, is still under discussion. Jean Todt, president of the FIA, stressed how much work has been done to make the calendar.

"The impressive 2022 FIA Formula One Championship calendar is the result of the great work made by Formula 1, led by Stefano Domenicali and his team, in strong synergy with the FIA," Todt stated to Formula1.com.

He continued: "Over the past two years, F1 has shown remarkable resilience. This is clearly demonstrated by the continued growth of the sport despite the important challenges of the pandemic."

"The 23 Grands Prix in 2022 will be an exciting showcase for the all-new cars and I am looking forward to it," concludes the Frenchman.
