Following a meeting between Domenicali and team bosses on Sunday, F1 made progress towards the Azerbaijan GP weekend's introduction of a new standalone Saturday sprint format.
The purpose of the meeting was not to have a formal vote, but in effect to get a mandate from the teams for the FIA to press ahead with finalising the regulatory details in time for Baku.
