LAMBORGHINI
S21 Standing: 6th

Lamborghini 6th place in S21 proved the team was in the right track. An underdeveloped engine will be tough to overcome and they will need to step it up to avoid a dramatic turn for the worse. Italian Cannas remains with the team and German driver Winter joins the team for his 1st F1 season.
BMW
S21 Standing: 7th

AUDI
S21 Standing: 8th

PORSCHE
S21 Standing: 11th

FORD
S21 Standing: 12th
S22 goal: Keep closing the gap
Leaving the bottom 3 was a major achieviement from Ford in S21. In S22 that remains a goal but the main objective is close the gap performance wise. For that Wayne remains with the team and Austrian Woeger takes over in the other car.
MERCEDES
S21 Standing: 13th
S22 goal: Score some points and return to respectability

TRABANT
S21 Standing: 14th
S22 goal: Avoid the bottom 2
In S21 Trabant continued to struggle but able to avoid last place. S22 doesn't look much better but the team hopes it can built momentum for S23. The driver line-up remains unchanged with Sahat and Sollberg in the driver's seats.
FERRARI
S21 Standing: 15th
S22 goal: Score points and stability.
