'I don’t know if we will do [sprints] every race weekend, maybe do a few more or maybe do half of the calendar.' 🤔 F1 Formula1 F1Sprint
Sprint races in Formula 1 continue to divide opinion, and we may have to get used to an even split of sprint and non-sprint rounds, according to Haas boss Guenther Steiner.
But, in the face of ever-increasing competition for a spot on the F1 calendar, Steiner argued that sprint races present the possibility to increase the racing action at a time where 24 rounds has been stated as the limit, the current season consisting of 23. He has also threatened an early exit from Formula 1 due to the increasing demands of the race weekend schedule.
It has been reported that unanimous approval has been reached between the teams for changes to the sprint weekend format which would see the 100km sprint race become a standalone event with a qualifying session to set the grid, rather than the sprint being used to determine the starting order for the grand prix.
