# 2022 Barcelona W Series round

The 2022 W Series Barcelona round was the second round of eight in the 2022 W Series, and took place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain on 21 May 2022. The event was an undercard to the 2022 Formula One World Championship round at the same circuit.

## Report
### Background

For the first of two events in 2022, the Tatuus–Toyota FT-60 chassis and engine combination would be used instead of the usual Tatuus–Alfa Romeo F3 T-318 car due to logistical hurdles related to the tight turnarounds between events.
Jamie Chadwick led the drivers' championship on 50 points, 27 points ahead of Nerea Martí. Jenner Racing led the teams' championship on 51 points, 10 points ahead of the Quantfury W Series Team.
