Comparison between the configuration of theRed Bull Ring used in 2019 and 2021 (top), and the layout used starting 2022 (bottom).
TheFinnish Grand Prix scheduled for July was cancelled in May due to incomplete homologation works and the risks associated with the geopolitical situation in the region surrounding theRussian invasion of Ukraine.[19]
TheAustrian Grand Prix used a new layout of theRed Bull Ring, wherein a chicane was added to the previous fast slight-left hander of turn 2.[20] This was done to improve the overall safety of the track by greatly minimizing the speed the riders take the turn. The final configuration was chosen among 15 proposals, with the track being 30 meters longer than the previous configurations.[21]
‡ – Half points were awarded during race 2 of theDutch TT as less than two-thirds of the scheduled race distance (but at least three full laps) was completed.
