Formula One testing sprint race qualifying
Fox News
Formula One will try a new qualifying format this year that includes a 100 km sprint race that will set the field for the main event. It will first be used at the British Grand Prix in July.
The new system will first be tried at the British Grand Prix in July, where a standard three-round knockout qualifying session on Friday will determine the starting lineup for a sprint race on Saturday. The race, which will cover the number of laps closest to 100 km, which varies by track, will be conducted without required pitstops for fuel or tires. The format will be used again at September's Italian Grand Prix in Monza and at a race outside of Europe that has yet to be determined.More Related News
