The 2022 Formula 1 seas🦋on is finally h💛ere as the action gets underway at the Bahrain International Circuit.

Over the years, Bahrain has been great for wheel-to-wheel action so 🍌the Sak𝓡hir circuit will be a great way to introduce F1's new era of cars.

The cars are completely different for this year 🐭with new technical regulations introduced to level the playing field and make overtaking easier.

The same teams appear to be at the front with Red Bull enjoying a strong second pre-season test as Max Ve🎃rstappen looks to defend 🦩the drivers' championship.

The Dutchman set a number of blistering laps on the final da𓂃y of F1🌃 testing in Bahrain when Red Bull introduced some new upgrades.

Ferrari had its best pre-season campaig🐻n in years with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz consistently at the front of the timesheets.

The Scuderia hasn't won since 2019 n♛or has it tasted championship glory sinc♔e 2008.

Eight-time constructors' champions Mercedes appears to be on the back foot going into Bahrain with it most affected by porpoising - the bouncing movement at h༒igh sp🍸eed.

McLaren is best placed to challenge outside the top three t💖eams after comin🅘g away from Barcelona very confident.

However, the Woking outfit struggled in Bahrain due to a recurring brake issue which♒ curtailed the team's running.

The team was also impacted by Daniel Ricciardo's a🦩bsence a🤡fter he tested positive for COVID-19.

The midfield is impossible to predict with Haas and Alfa Romeo showing impressive pace at times, while Alpine, Asto🔜n Martin and AlphaTa🎃uri have traditionally led the midfield in recent years.
