General
- All drivers now have free choice of starting tyre for the race on Sunday

Sprint
- Rebranded "Sprint Qualifying" to "Sprint"
  - Replaced (Imola) with (Monza) as a nominated Sprint weekend this season, and remain unchanged.

Points system for shortened races
- Following the controversy surrounding the awarding of points at Belgium 2021, where the race was only run behind the safety car, new criteria has been introduced for uncompleted events.
  - If less than 25% of the scheduled distance is completed, points are awarded on a 6-4-3-2-1 basis to the top 5.
  - If 25% - 50% of the scheduled distance is completed, points are awarded on a 13-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis to the top 9.
  - If 50% - 75% of the scheduled distance is completed, points are awarded on a 19-14-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 basis to the top 10.
  - If more than 75% of the scheduled distance is completed, full points are awarded.
  - Additionally, the fastest lap point is only awarded if a minimum of 50% of the schedule distance is completed whilst within the top 10.

Safety car procedures and protocols
- New safety car procedures and protocols introduced which address the following:
  - The unlapping of cars under a safety car period, changed from "Any" to "All" will be allowed to unlap themselves, if deemed safe by the race director.
  - The safety car will be now withdrawn one lap after the instruction of the lapped cars may unlap themselves has been given.
  - Aggressive acceleration, braking, and sitting alongside another car during the restart, in an attempt to seek a tactical advantage has been banned during a restart procedure.
