Formula 1 is considering separate sprint race championship: ‘Thinking of a Grand Slam’

According to Stefano Domenicali, Formula 1 has big plans with the new sprint race format. The CEO states that it is currently considering holding seven different sprint race weekends in 2022, which together will form a separate championship.

Formula 1 has started this season with a trial of the so-called sprint race format. This format has proven to be a great success for the fans, the organization and the drivers themselves. Formula 1 therefore plans to give the sprint races a more prominent place in the season in the future. Although the details are not yet clear, Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali emphasizes that they are working very hard behind the scenes. “We are running three sprint races this year. In addition to Silverstone and Monza, one will also be held in Brazil,” he said. Sports picture.

“The reactions, the tension and the rhythm are working well. We are currently adjusting the format, but I can well imagine that we will have seven sprint races,” he continues. “We think – and this is just one example – of a Grand Slam. An extra title like in tennis. Whoever wins the title of the sprint races and the world title is the winner of the Grand Slam. F1 needs change and must be interesting remain for the young audience.”

Domenicali emphasizes that he wants to keep the 2022 calendar at a maximum of 23 races. “We have requests from Africa. We are in talks with both North and South Africa and want one or two races in the Far East, such as Korea. I imagine a third of the races will be held in Europe and the rest spread all over the world.”
