This
coming weekend at Silverstone, F1 is boldly ripping up the standard weekend
format and trying something new: F1 Sprint. This flat-out 100km event will take
place on Saturday – between qualifying and the race on the schedule – with the
result setting the grid for the Grand Prix on Sunday.
We’ve
set out exactly how it will work
in our handy guide – but even then we noticed a few
misconceptions about the format floating around the internet. So with that in
mind, here’s our myth-busting guide to F1 Sprint.
TRUE
OR FALSE: The Top 10 finishers in the Sprint will be reversed to create a new
grid for Sunday’s Grand Prix
ANSWER:

super simple – the order that the cars finish F1 Sprint in will set the grid
for Sunday’s main event: The Grand Prix itself.
