Formula 1 has postponed the post-season rookie-only sprint race until at least 2025, which was initially proposed by Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and gained support from F1, the FIA, and teams. The commercial and logistical challenges delayed the event to 2025, despite initial plans for 2024 approval. Following the recent F1 Commission meeting, it was announced that the race will not take place this year due to timing and organizational constraints. The FIA stated that the concept received widespread support but will require more time and planning for implementation. Additionally, F1’s 2026 technical regulations have undergone amendments to enhance performance, aerodynamics, and safety, causing concerns for teams about the drastic changes in F1 cars’ performance profiles between rulesets.
