New F1 Sprint procedure and regulations

The sprint format changes again in 2024. This time the qualifying on friday will be the sprint shootout, so it will determine the grid positions for the sprint race. That sprint race then will be held on saturday morning, while the qualy for the main race keeps it's spot from the standard weekends, on saturday afternoon. Also there will be two parc fermes during sprint weekends. One from the sprint shootout on friday until the end of the sprint race on saturday morning. Afterwards, the teams are allowed to work on their cars and change some setup things. Then there will be the second parc ferme from the beginning of th qualy on saturday until the end of the main race on sunday.

Overview of a sprint weekend

Friday:

(morning) Free Practice

(afternoon) Sprint shootout (start of parc ferme 1)

Saturday:

(morning) Sprint race (End of sprint race = End of parc ferme 1)

(afternoon) Qualy (start of parc ferme 2)

Sunday:

(afternoon) Main race

Also the teams are allowed to use 4 engines instead of 3 this season, to compensate the additional load of the sprint races. And the F1 is discussing to allow the teams to assemble a third chassis more completely than in the previous years, to make it possible for a driver to take part in the main qualy if they get involved in a big crash during the sprint race.

It may have been a controversial race due to how Max won his first title, but it was truly an unforgettable one, even to this day. Who do you believe deserved the title?

Okay, so Kevin will cross the border soon...

The only ones without penalty points are Charles, Alex, Pierre, Oscar, and Lando.

I can see how it warps the mind, the perception of the world and our place in it. Power is enticing. Like Lewis Hamilton? You can eat steaks that cost the same as your electricity bill and meet him again. You, too, can bask in the balding aura of Prince Harry and the fake glow of Instagram models. Any wealth and status you lack, you can perform. What I received wasn't a crash course in Formula 1—in fact, Formula 1 only became more mystifying to me—but journalism, as viewed by the other side. The great irony of the other side is that they need journalism. The petrochemical companies, deeply powerful institutions, need journalists to write about all the things they attach themselves to that are not being a petrochemical company. Formula 1, on a rapacious tangent for growth and new markets, needs journalists to spread the good word of the richest sport in the world. Unfortunately for the other side, journalism still remains a double-edged sword.

Good decision if you ask me.

There’s been an update to the F1 Sporting Regulations around false starts.

They are no longer solely judged by the transponders in the floor and the car.

So now if a car is deemed to move after the four second light is illuminated and before the start signal (all lights out) then they have had a ‘false start’ (jump start)

10 years ago, we have learned about Michael Schumacher's life altering skiing accident. Ever since then, he disappeared from the public eye, and the entire F1 world was changed. 10 years later, we had next to no updates on his state, but his brother Ralf publicly stated how "he isn't the same Michael we all knew". What are your favorite moments of his career? Do you think his championship title record will remain untouched and stay equal to Hamilton's championship title count? Keep fighting, Michael!
