As a guest on The Race podcast, F1 boss Stefano Domenicali reignited the debate about reversed grids during sprint races. The Italian expressed openness to this possibility with the aim of revitalizing these races, which have often been criticized for their lack of spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Regarding sprint races, I believe there is a possibility to implement two things, but we obviously need to first discuss them with the drivers, teams, and the FIA \u00bb, he explained. One of the possibilities being considered is the option to once again increase the number of sprint races. Introduced in 2021 during 3 events (Silverstone, Monza, Interlagos), they were later doubled starting in 2023.<\/p>\n<h2>Several changes considered<\/h2>\n<p>\u00ab The first, can we increase the number of sprints in the season? And is it the right race to implement a reverse grid, as we do in F2 and F3? I think we have matured enough to discuss these points seriously. \u00bb The Italian seems ready to go further and has discussed new rules to be implemented. \u00ab There is a trend in this direction, and I am ready to put this topic on the table, not just on the number of sprints, but also on new formats, new ideas. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>The objective is clear: to continue making F1 an attractive sport. The idea of reverse grids is to shake up the hierarchy, with the best drivers starting from the back, providing the unknown for spectators. It is now up to the teams and the FIA to initiate discussions. A reflection that could disrupt the world of F1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>F1 boss Stefano Domenicali has said in a podcast for English media outlet \u00ab The Race \u00bb that he is ready to open the door to changes for sprint racing, including the introduction of an inverted grid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":136,"featured_media":45532,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[179,215,1511],"class_list":["post-32349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-course-sprint","tag-declaration","tag-stefano-domenicali"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
