The 2022 Sakhir FIA Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held on 19 and 20 March 2022 at the Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the opening round of the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship, and was held in support of the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix.
The Qualifying session took place on 18 March 2022, with F3 debutant Franco Colapinto scoring his and his team's (Van Amersfoort Racing) first pole-position in the series,[1] while Roman Staněk achieved his best ever qualifying result with second.
Following a battle for the lead between polesitter Zak O'Sullivan and Oliver Bearman the latter was able to build a gap on his competitors. Bearman would cross the line in first place, but was given a time penalty for extending the track on multiple occasions, which promoted fellow rookie Isack Hadjar to the top step of the podium. Bearman ended up second and Alexander Smolyar finished third.[4]
