There will also be three in 2022 Sprint. As announced also by FormulaPassion, the tug-of-war between the teams and Liberty Media had the teams as winners. The plan to double the short matches on Saturday compared to 2021 has failed, at least for this season. In 2022 the Sprint – this is the new official name – will be held in Imola (April 23), Red Bull Ring (July 9) e Interlagos (November 12). As stated in the federal communiqué, the decisions were taken unanimously, considering the “pressure already exerted on the teams for this season with the introduction of important changes to the regulation“And will not modify the budget cap already planned for short races in 2021.
The FIA has announced other important news that will change the entire race weekend in Imola, Austria and Brazil. The pole position of these events will in fact return to those who will complete the fastest lap during Friday’s qualifying (last year it went to the winner of the short race). Points will be awarded to the first eight: maximum stake for the first in the standings, who will take eight points, the second will go seven and then climb up to the point of eighth. A pilot, therefore, will be able to conquer to the maximum 34 points in a race weekend: 25 for the Sunday Grand Prix, one for the fastest lap and eight for the Sprint.
