How the New F1 Sprint will Work L.Graves, Epsom College

As of the 2023 Azerbaijan F1 Grand Prix, the new sprint format will take place. Originally F1 sprints began in 2021, where the usual weekend format was altered to introduce a second shorter race which created a more interesting and exciting weekend. It meant qualifying moved from a Saturday to Friday, which then determined the line-up for the sprint race. The sprint race would then take place and the results would decide the order for the Grand Prix (GP).
