In recent days it was McLaren number one, Zak Brown, to reveal that the discussions on the budget cap had in fact put the Formula 1 teams’ definitive yes to the six rounds of the Sprint Qualifications che Liberty Media had planned for the 2022 season. The crux of the dispute turned out to be the compensation offered by the American property in the event of accidents in the sprint format, definitely far from the demands of the teams. And so the six additional appointments scheduled for the next championship could be skipped, despite having already been identified: Manama (GP Bahrain), Imola (GP Emilia Romagna), Montreal (Canada), Red Bull Ring (Austria), Zandvoort (Holland), Interlagos (Brazil).
The next step will be a online voting, which will take place before the start of the tests, scheduled for February 23, according to the online edition of Sky Sport Uk. The vote for 2022, to be successful, will require the qualified majority, or 28 of the 30 preferences expressed. One vote will be given by each team present in Formula 1, for a total of ten, to which will be added another ten destined for Liberty Media and the same number for the FIA. Therefore, three opposing teams will be enough to blow up the Sprint 2022 Qualifications. In view of 2023, the required threshold will be lowered to 26 votes. Only secondarily will a possible revision of the format that began last season emerge, on the table the possibility of extending the distribution of points to the top ten positions, unlike the three seen in the past championship, had emerged.
