About the new weekend format for Sprint Races
Hi guys, I am just watching a video right now about F1, and what the FIA (or should I say Liberty Media) have planned for the Sprint Weekends is nothing short of smart, and way better than last year...
Forum Discussion
@LuckyNico92 Plus there is the proposal for Imola where the FIA will trial a new qualifying system where you can only use the Hard tyres in Q1, Medium tyres in Q2 and Soft tyres is Q3.
This is supposedly to reduce the number of tyres used in a weekend to 11 but I fear this will reduce practice running as a result

@Cpayne32Think they could go one further and mandate that every qualifying session must be run on hards? Factoring in less grip, inherent characteristics of chassis and suspension in tyre warm up and drivers' ability to know when the best phase is, could we get a more mixed up grid? Potentially could see more qualifying laps from each car because of the harder compound however we miss the jeopardy of the last lap shootout. Maybe have each driver have one set of hards for the whole 3 sessions? Just spitballing...
- @TotosHeadphones And shivering
- @TotosHeadphones I think that would definitely shakeup the grid for sure
@LuckyNico92 yes but from what I have understood is still not sure https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/New-format-for-Sprint-weekend-in-Baku-perhaps/m-p/12443598/highlight/true#M21597
