Overall, the opening race weekend of 2022 will yet again take place in the deserts of Bahrain under the lights. And if you’re planning to skip practice sessions this weekend, we’d suggest you don’t! This is because Friday will witness extremely windy conditions with gusts potentially reaching up to 60 km/h.

Hence, there are going to be an insane number of spins and maybe even crashes. So, a very entertaining start to the race weekend ahead for the viewers craving on-track action!
