Team changes

  • Merlin was sold to Urbina in August 2021 and was renamed as Urbina Grand Prix for 2022. This marks Urbina's return to AstyF1 as a works constructor since their departure in 2017.
  • AMZ will be officially competing in 2022 with their own works engine, called the MH 1.6 S1. Prior to this, they used rebadged Sidus engines for the 2021 season while the team was still developing their own powertrains.

Driver changes

  • Phaeton will be debuting an all-new driver lineup for the 2022 season, with Gianpiero Santoro and Decius Whitewall due to replace the outgoing Tertius DiParadisa and Pekka Koivu, respectively. Rookies Mitchell Townsend and Athan Lille will in turn fill in Santoro's and Whitewall's seats at their respective teams. Townsend will graduate from Astyrian F2 as that year's champion while Lille will graduate from the WGP2 Championship. The latter would become the first ever Lisandrian driver to compete in the sport.
  • Astyrian F2 runner-up Henri Makitalö will also graduate to F1 with AMZ Grand Prix Racing, replacing Dalriny Mikov.

Technical changes

Due to Steven Grey's accident at the 2021 Caprican Grand Prix which paralyzed him from the waist down, the AMF brought about a number of changes to further bolster driver safety for the 2022 season. These changes combined brought up the minimum weight of the cars to 790 kg, the heaviest in AstyF1's history.
