Ang F1 Commission met this Tuesday in London to discuss some important issues about the future of Formula 1, working towards the goal of always being in their decisions, to continue to increase their number of fans around the world and their spectators. To do this, we must continue to improve the show. At the points touched, the first is the increase from 3 to 6 the number of weekends with sprint races that there will be in 2023matter unanimously approved by the teams.
One of the many steps F1 owners have taken, Library Mediato increase the sport’s following (which rose sharply in 2021 due to combat Hamilton – Verstappen and the phenomenon Netflix) will test three events in 2021 with an experimental qualifying weekend format on Friday, a short sprint race on Saturday and the feature race on Sunday. After those first three trials, it was decided to implement this kind of different weekend at three other events in 2021 and increase the number of drivers who will receive points (from the top three to this year’s top eight) to promote more against said sprint event. And the result Very positive for teams that seem to have done everything so that in 2023 there will not be 3 sprint races, but a total of 6 throughout the season.
It remains for the FIA to review the proposal and any extra effort this proposal may require for all teams. “While it supports the principle of increased number of events at Sprint, the FIA is still assessing the impact of this measure on its operations and staff on the track, and will provide its comments to the Commission.“, the International Federation assured in its statement. But everything seems to be on the right track for this to happen after this Tuesday, at their meeting in London, the 10 representatives of the teams on the grid unanimously accepted that in 2023 there will be a total of 6 sprint racing.
“With the popularity of the first of three Sprint events of the 2022 season among fans and stakeholders this past weekend in Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Formula 1 and the teams supported the extension to six Sprint events for the 2023 season, with the same format in 2022. “dictated the FIA statement.
This format makes Friday more competitive and exciting than the ‘usual’ Grand Prix format, as seconds of free practice on Friday and their well-known long run simulation have been removed, for the real fire of a thrilling battle for the pole.
The goal is that the format is the same as the current format, without changes. In other words, there is Free Practice 1 and qualifying on Friday, an hour of Free Practice 2 and the sprint race on Saturday, and the long race on Sunday. Through this, the goal is to increase the audience and for more people to keep track of what happens on Friday, as well as improving the capacity of the stands of the aforementioned Grand Prix for ‘qually’ Fridays. The top 8 of the sprint race will continue to score points and the Poles are, like this year, for the best in the standings.
