F1’s sprint qualifying format returns for the 2022 season with several subtle changes following its introduction. Here’s how it will work for this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff believes Formula 1’s sprint qualifying should be restricted to no more than four events per year to prevent “too much randomness”.
Formula 1 managing director Ross Brawn says he was “very pleased” by what he saw in the championship’s inaugural sprint race and revealed that further tweaks to the format could be made.
Valtteri Bottas says his inability to get past Max Verstappen at the start of Formula 1’s first-ever sprint qualifying meant he couldn’t make the most of his soft tyres.
The FIA has announced that the World Motor Sport Council has approved the introduction of Pirelli’s new rear tyre construction for the rest of the 2021 Formula 1 season.
Formula 1 has announced the revised session times for the 2021 British Grand Prix weekend, where the new sprint qualifying format is set to be trialled for the first time.
