In 2027 there will be 9 or 10 Sprints

An important change Since 2021, F1 fans have found themselves faced with the Copernican revolution of two races per weekend, in some selected grands prix. The one on Saturday – called Sprint – consists of 100 km and has a reduced score.
We started with 3 events, rising to 6 in 2023, the maximum number also reached this season (China, Miami, Spa-Francorchamps, Austin, Sao Paulo, Lusail). The news of the day, given by the English of Sky UK, is that F1 has decided to significantly increase the number of Sprint races for the 2027 season – which will therefore be 9 or 10. Almost half, considering the total of 24 races of the world championship.
One of these for the next three years, as emerged yesterday, will be that of the Italian GP in Monza. At Silverstone, Stefano Domenicali expressed himself as follows, taking stock of the Sprints: “At the beginning people were skeptical about what we were doing. I think we had a duty to be courageous and think outside the box. I think you can see the effect. With the many people we had on Friday at Silverstone, if we didn’t offer something that had a concrete impact it would be wrong. Therefore, I think this is the way forward. We are working to announce a higher figure for the future, which will be communicated very, very soon, at the same time as the calendar is published.” Sprints in the history of F1 YearNumber of SprintsGrand Prix with Sprint Race20213Great Britain (Silverstone), Italy (Monza), Sao Paulo (Interlagos)20223Emilia-Romagna (Imola), Austria (Spielberg), Sao Paulo (Interlagos)20236Azerbaijan (Baku), Austria (Spielberg), Belgium (Spa-Francorchamps), Qatar (Lusail), United States (Austin), Sao Paulo (Interlagos)20246China (Shanghai), Miami, Austria (Spielberg), United States (Austin), Sao Paulo (Interlagos), Qatar (Lusail)20256China (Shanghai), Miami, Belgium (Spa-Francorchamps), United States (Austin), Sao Paulo (Interlagos), Qatar (Lusail)20266China (Shanghai), Miami, Belgium (Spa-Francorchamps), United States (Austin), Sao Paulo (Interlagos), Qatar (Lusail)
