Formula 1 sprint races will no longer determine the starting lineup for the Grand Prix races that follow.
F1 announced Tuesday that qualifying on Friday would set the field for races on Sunday while the Saturday sprint races would not have any bearing on the race the following day. This weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix is the first of six sprint race weekends during the 2023 Formula 1 season.
Points will still be awarded to the top eight finishers of the sprint race. The winner gets eight points while the eighth-place driver gets a single point.
