Formulation One will exchange the normal qualifying format with a shortened dash race at Silverstone, Monza and a 3rd occasion this season.

July’s British GP would be the first take a look at of this new format, which is probably the most vital change to the race weekend format within the trendy period.

The rule modified was handed Monday following unanimous settlement of the ten groups.

It would see qualifying happen on Friday instead of the second follow session. That can comply with the same old Q1-Q2-Q3 format and set the grid for a brief dash race to happen as a substitute of the normal qualifying slot on Saturday afternoon.

The dash race will probably be held over 100km (round 17 laps at Silverstone) and can set the grid for the grand prix on Sunday. A pit-stop is not going to be obligatory, which means it will likely be a flat-out race to the end.

Factors will probably be handed out to the highest three finishers of the dash race – three for 1st, two for 2nd and one for third. Factors will probably be awarded as regular for the grand prix itself.

F1 groups have been mulling over the change for some time. The championship hopes it’ll “enhance the on-track motion and have interaction followers in a brand new and progressive means”.

After the trial run at Silverstone, the qualifying dash race will happen once more at Monza’s Italian Grand Prix on September 12.

The third occasion will probably be at an occasion exterior Europe, though F1 has but to determine on the venue.
