A non-championship Formula 1 race for young drivers looks increasingly likely to be realised in time to be held this year in Abu Dhabi
A non-championship Formula 1 race for young drivers is likely to happen this year in Abu Dhabi, following initial support from F1 stakeholders and teams. The race would include practice, qualifying, and a sprint race to provide more F1 opportunities for young drivers. The logistical challenges include defining the sporting rules, managing broadcast arrangements, and determining which drivers are eligible to participate. Each team is expected to run one car, with the race event happening all in one day at the end of the season. Teams are enthusiastic about the race as it will allow for better evaluation of young talent in equal circumstances. Initially planned for the end of 2025, the event now seems to be on track for 2022, with a focus on streamlining regulations and making it a valuable experience for young drivers.
