Drive to Survive season 4 is realised on Netflix on the 11th of March.... CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

Based on the drama that happened throughout last season’s championship, this will be awesome to watch

I just noticed that the season doesn't start til the 20th of March when usually it's the first week of March.. Does anyone know why it's a few weeks later?

Melbourne was always the 1st race for years, now they're 3rd.. Is that because Bahrain offered more money to be 1st?

Partly because of the season schedule changes to accomodate possible lingering Covid issues. The calender is actually bigger with a number timing changes to fit in.

Season doesn’t normally finish as late as December as it did last year. I would say that’s why start is now late March. There are more races in the year now too.

Melbourne not holding their last two races due to covid wouldn’t of helped their cause but I don’t believe it’s because Bahrain has paid more money. All teams are actually testing in Bahrain a week before the season starts. It makes sense to just keep everyone there to kick off the season the next week and have back to back races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. They then have a two week gap to move the circus to Melbourne. And as Bazil mentioned I’m sure covid played some part in the decision making process. Melbourne may have still been in lockdown when the 2022 season was being mapped out

Michael Massi also been removed from Race Director and replaced by two other blokes (one of them DTM, the other WEC) with Herbie Blash over seeing them.

Some good changes there for sure. Also these new cars look pretty cool. Hopefully they produce what they're meant to.

Alpine reveal the A522 in a blue and pink livery. The predominant pink will be used in the first two races at Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Reminds me of the old Force India.
