Turns out it’s not just the cars and officials that will be reworked for F1 this year, as the FIA has tweaked a host of its sporting regulations.
Firstly, F1 will again feature three sprint races this year, but where they will be run and the rewards they will offer have both been changed. The original plan was to run six 100km sprints this campaign, but that has been reduced to three as a compromise with teams, which are understood to have sought damage compensation for putting their cars on the line for six extra races. Imola, Red Bull Ring and Interlagos will host sprints this year.
