F1 2022: Where to watch Australian GP Race? Time, TV schedule, livestream details, and more

F1 is all set to make an epic comeback at Albert Park for the 2022 Australian Grand Prix. The sport last visited the Land Down Under in 2019 and has since been absent due to COVID-19 restrictions. The weekend is set to follow the traditional qualifying format i.e., not the sprint format.

Ferrari and Red Bull are the teams to beat in 2022, with the Silver Arrows going through a rough phase due to porpoising problems. The Italian team achieved a 1-2 finish in Bahrain's season opener, making their comeback to the top steps of F1. Red Bull lost out to the Scuderia team in Bahrain as a fuel supply issue affected both drivers, causing them to score zero points despite showing immense race pace.

While the sport was away, the Albert Park Circuit went through a series of major updates, making practice and qualifying sessions all the more valuable for teams. Engineers will also have to understand how the 2022 cars behave on the new track, making each minute very valuable.

Homeboy Daniel Ricciardo has praised the new changes, claiming they will help in overtaking through dirty air. He said:

“It was always a track where overtaking was difficult because it was quite narrow and very fast. In general, in Formula 1, it becomes more difficult to follow other cars in corner combinations the faster we go. Widening the apex of some corners I think will help create more room for some daring overtaking or choosing a different line to get out of the dirty air.”
