The possibility of seeing a rookie Sprint Race in Abu Dhabi, at the end of the Formula 1 season, opens up to see the qualities of the drivers: the situation
Speculation continues about the future of Formula 1, both on and off the track. Just a few days ago, Stefano Domenicali hinted that Germany could return to the calendar, partially due to Audi’s entry. Now, there might also be significant changes in the short term for young drivers from Formula 2 and beyond.
All 10 teams have shown support for a Rookie Sprint Race at the end of the season in Abu Dhabi. Christian Horner, the head of Oracle Red Bull Racing, voiced his opinion, stating: “Adopting the sprint race regulations is absolutely feasible. It doesn’t need to be overly complicated. It will simply be one car per team instead of two.”
Horner further added: “I think the event will take place all in one day: qualifying, and then there will be an additional sprint race”, hinting at a potential new format.
