According to the source, positive feedback from fans and riders forced the series management to think about increasing the number of sprints to ten a year. This will require the support of the owner of commercial rights FOM, the governing body of the FIA and the teams.
“I have to say that, except for some older fans, everyone wants sprinting weekends. Promoters insist on this format, and now pilots are also interested in it.
I provoke a little, but free workouts attract super -specialists. People who want to see more action prefer a sprint weekend. There is much from Friday that you can discuss and comment on, there is a qualifying session, but I understand that it should become part of the formula-1 culture, “-said F-1 President Stefano Domenikali.
At the moment, the calendar of the season consists of 24 Grand Prix, which means that only a quarter of the stages conducts a sprint race. This situation may change in 2027.
