At the beginning of the week, just a few days before the start of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Formula 1 announced the new format of the weekends with sprint races. From now on, the Saturday sprint races will remain independent from the rest of the competition weekend.<\/p>\n<p>This change has clearly won over former McLaren driver, Mika H\u00e4kkinen. It&#8217;s great to see how popular Formula 1 has become, and I think the CEO of F1, Stefano Domenicali, is right to experiment with this new format,&#8221; he assured in his column for Unibet.<\/p>\n<h2>No more show<\/h2>\n<p>With only one free practice session on Friday before the teams qualify for the Sunday Grand Prix, they have very little time to collect data and play with the settings.<\/p>\n<p>For him, the most significant change is the fact that the sprint race no longer determines the starting grid for the Sunday race. \u00ab I think it&#8217;s a fantastic decision. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>The double world champion is certain that the Formula 1 officials have introduced this new format to create more interest among fans in the stands or those who are watching on television. \u00ab I truly believe that it will work, although the teams are quite nervous about the potential for additional damage. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the two-time world champion in 1998 and 1999, this new format is a good thing for the sport.
