The countdown to the new game is on, but what about the F1 22 tracks?
We know Codemasters recreates the current season in its new game, but tracks can take more than six months to create, and changes are extremely time-consuming.
Here are the tracks we know will be in F1 22.
Latest news - Two extra tracks confirmed

Circuit alterations
After spending 2021 putting out three brand new tracks in post-release, Codemasters has some catching up to do with circuit alterations.
The biggest is in Abu Dhabi, where two sections were completely remodelled and several other corners marginally altered.

One that might not make the cut is the alterations to Spa's Eau Rouge/Raidillon complex. Work is still ongoing to widen the runoff and try to make the corners safer without completely altering the feel and history of that section.
