Sprint, while still worth points, will no longer form the Sunday Formula 1 Grand Prix lineup.
Formula 1 is changing its format for Saturday's Sprint race during six F1 weekends in 2023.Saturday's Sprint Shootout, sets the grid for Sprint, followed by Sprint race.Formula 1’s Sprint format
The proposal was unanimously supported by the Formula 1 Commission on Tuesday, and then ratified by the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council, ahead of this weekend’s fourth Grand Prix of 23—and first of six Sprint events—at Azerbaijan’s Baku City Circuit. That format was retained for 2022, where Sprint was again run on three occasions, albeit with a greater range of points on offer for the top eight finishers.For 2023, Sprint was eventually expanded to feature at six Grands Prix: Azerbaijan, Austria, Belgium, Qatar, Austin and São Paulo.
Saturday’s second practice session has been scrapped and replaced by a qualifying session for Sprint. This will be known as Sprint Shootout. Any misstep during that practice session will be keenly felt heading into the respective qualifying sessions. And, with drivers having to push more, it risks incurring more damage to components, particularly at a street circuit such as Baku. Teams are also mindful of the short turnaround time to the next race, in Miami, just one week later.
Last year’s Sprints were less memorable though that owed much to the season domination by Max Verstappen, more straightforward circumstances, and the novelty of Sprint itself having worn off. A format, after all, is only as strong as its product.Other non-Sprint aspects to Formula 1 were also approved during Tuesday’s meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
