Changes in Formula 1. The organization is preparing for the first sprint race in the championship history this weekend. This is intended to innovate and have a more remarkable spectacle in future races.
This format will consist of two races, the traditional one on Sunday and the one on Saturday, which will last 100 kilometers, and 20 racing cars will participate. There will be no tire change or pit stops; it will be optional.
Poleman
Will there be points to distribute? Yes. The winner of the sprint race will add three units, second place two, and third place one point. The rest will not be awarded, but where they finish will be vital since it will be the order on the starting grid of Sunday's race (the new classification). Is there a poleman? There will be no qualification, and the poleman will be defined in Saturday's race. He will practically be the winner of the sprint and not the fastest in the classification as tradition dictates.
To define the sprint grid on Friday, there will be a classification in which the teams will only use soft tires. Afterward, the cars will enter the Parc Ferme, and they will no longer be able to touch each other until Saturday and Sunday. Schedules Austrian Grand Prix
