The tyre rules for the sprint qualifying at the AustrianGP have been tweaked to avoid a potentially farcical problem that arose in Baku. Full story ⬇️
The FIA has tweaked the tyre regulations for Formula 1 sprint qualifying to avoid the “unintended consequences” that emerged in Baku at the first event held under the rules.As the rules were originally written, drivers were obliged to use new medium tyres in Saturday’s SQ1 and SQ2 sessions, and then new softs on SQ3.
In Baku, Yuki Tsunoda and Lando Norris used all their soft tyres before the sprint qualifying session.McLaren left the option open for him to run on intermediates – which the rules allowed – should two drivers in the same situation have made SQ3. However, Norris didn’t need to run so he remained in the garage and qualified 10th.
