The future of Formula 1’s sprint races is firmly up in the air, with format changes for 2024 still being discussed by the teams and the FIA. But what should change? Our writers give their thoughts
The future of Formula 1’s sprint races is uncertain as teams and the FIA continue to discuss format changes for 2024. One proposal is to move sprint qualifying to Friday afternoon and have the sprint race on Saturday, with grand prix qualifying later on Saturday and the grand prix itself on Sunday. However, there are differing opinions on the best way forward for F1. Some suggest having two hour-long practice sessions, with “new” drivers getting a fair chance and some adjustments to the current hardware allowed post-qualifying. Others argue for a return to the traditional three-practice session format, as the current sprint format feels disconnected from the rest of the weekend and lacks excitement. Ultimately, the future of sprint races in F1 is still up for debate.
