Formula 1 is aiming to finalise new rules for a standalone Saturday sprint race format for Baku, but time is running out. Explained: F1
The basic idea is for the sprint event and the grand prix to have their own qualifying sessions, and for the result of the sprint not to impact the grid positions for the main event.
It's understood that the sporting directors asked the FIA to come back with a definitive set of rule updates for further consideration. The challenge is that what sounds like a relatively simple change will involve major updates to the sporting regulations which already underwent an overhaul when sprints were introduced in 2021.
Teams have to give back two sets after FP1 and then typically they would use four sets of softs in Friday's race qualifying session. The complication is that any updated version of the regulations will have to be drafted by the FIA and then run by the teams via the sporting directors who form the SAC.
However, if it can't be done, the new format could be introduced at the next sprint event in Austria in the summer.
