Spanish GP 2022: List of upgrades brought in by each team

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

The sixth round of the Formula 1 2022 season is just minutes away from unveiling the action. The sport heads to Spain for the second time this year. The initial pre-season test was held at this circuit and now it is ready to host the Spanish GP. The circuit presented the drivers and teams with their first opportunity to learn about their new era Formula 1 cars. The return back to Barcelona is really promising.

The new rules and regulation in the 2022 season, changed the way of how Formula 1 cars run on track. The modern cars are domineered by ground effect, which was introduced to assist the drivers with overtaking opportunities. This introduced an off-track race between each team on the grid, in form of a race for car development. Each race weekend, every team learns more and more about their package with an aim to optimise it sooner than their rivals. This off-track battle takes a huge step at the Spanish GP.
