Stefano Domenicali insists that ‘sprint qualifying’ will never take place on each and every grand prix weekend in the future. The new format will almost certainly be trialled over three races in 2021, with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff warning that it is a risk for Formula 1. “But we must be very careful with the format we have in mind given the responsibility we have for Formula 1.”. Even so, the Italian said Formula 1 will not go overboard with the new format. “We don’t want to do this at every grand prix in the future. This should be a Grand Slam for selected events,” said Domenicali.
