Azerbaijan Grand Prix: The new sprint style may result in a chaotic race - Max Verstappen

Posted : 27 April 2023
For the 'sprint' race grid, Formula 1 will have a second qualifying session on Saturday.

The Red Bull driver said: "This track is normally quite chaotic and this will only make it more chaotic."

Fernando Alonso said it was "more challenging and stressful". And Lewis Hamilton feels it is "the most exciting weekend so far this year".

This year's six Formula One "sprint" races will all use the new format, which was just announced two days ago; it will begin in Baku this weekend.

The primary change is the division of the Saturday "sprint" race from the main grand prix.

The sprint, a shorter race that lasts around one-third as long as a grand prix, has determined the starting lineup for the Sunday's main event for the past two years.

Now, a qualifying session on Friday determines the grid for the grand prix, while a qualifying session on Saturday, dubbed the "sprint shoot-out," determines the grid for the "sprint" later that day.

The upgrades also eliminate a Saturday practice session when teams only ran with race fuel loads and which offered nothing in the way of entertainment.
