The start of the 2022 Formula 1 season is just days away. The 2022 season looks set to be one of the most exciting and unpredictable in recent memory. Before the new season begins, I’ve posted 20 prediction polls on the Lights Out twitter account about the year ahead.
So how many teams do you think will win a race? Will the title be decided at the final race of the season for the second year in a row? And will Las Vegas feature on the 2023 calendar? Have a go at answering the 20 questions. We’ll revisit these polls at the end of the season to see how many you got right!
