F1 has undergone some major changes in recent years – could more be on the way?
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali recently mentioned that the idea of introducing reverse races in F1 is being discussed for the future. The sport underwent a significant format change in 2021 by adding sprint races at three rounds, which has now increased to six events annually. McLaren team principal Andrea Stella stated openness to reviewing such changes to keep the sport exciting. Implementing reverse grid races would be a radical step in F1’s history, with uncertainties on how they would fit into a race weekend. Currently, Formula 2 and Formula 3 reverse the top 10 or 12 drivers from qualifying for sprint races before they start from their usual positions in the main event. The question remains: Should F1 adopt reverse grid races, and if yes, how should they be introduced? Share your thoughts in the poll provided!
