Formula E returns to your TV screen this weekend with a double-header in the desert of Diriyah.

Season 8 of the all-electric motorsport series will be the biggest yet with 16 races on the calendar and live Channel 4 coverage of every single race.

Antonio Giovinazzi will join the series from the Alfa Romeo Formula 1 team while six British drivers are all gearing up for a bid to win the title.

Sam Bird is the only driver to win a race in all seven seasons of Formula E so far and he will be determined to extend that record in 2022.

Reigning champion Nyck de Vries is aiming to becoming just the second driver to win back-to-back Formula E titles. Jean-Eric Vergne is the only star to achieve the feat so far.

Fans and casual viewers alike will be keen to see what 2022 brings, but you can guarantee high intensity action from the very start. Buckle up!
