Stefano Domenicali has rejected concerns over how to evolve F1’s sprint race format - and is “interested” in reversing the g♛rid.

This season the scheduling of sprint weekends at F1 rounds has been tweaked but even 🐼bolder c💙hanges could be around the corner.

A theory to ‘reverse the grid’ intrigues the Formulꦐa 1 CEO.

“There are certain topics that are always quite ꦜdebatable,” Domenicali told .

“We can really once ag𝔉ain discuss if there is the need to reverse the grid, or half of the grid like🌺 what F2 and F3 are doing.

“So these are always things to keep the mind alive, if 🦹I may say, with the intent to keep something always interesting.

“Personally, I would say, why not? It's a lot of action. It is overta🅠king. You're fighting for points?

“Some people can say, ‘O📖h, it is a fake way of racing.’

“Fake? There is nothing fake relatꦉed to what you believe is the right format to produce great action. So I would be interested to discuss that ag🦂ain. Yes.”

Six rounds this season will feature a sprint race on a Saturday, and the accompanying sprint qualifyinꦯg.

By contrast MotoGP, which F1 owners﷽ Liberty Media bought this year, features a sprint race at every round, on the Saturday before the Sunday grand prix.

Domenicali explai🔯ned that his plan to spice up an F1 weekend is🥀 to add a competitive element to every session, rather than just run three practice hours.

“My dream will be: every time that you go on the track, there is somet🍃hing to fight for,” he added.

Reversing the grid, however,🎐 represents a complex solution because it includes a rule change to prevent F1 drivers intentionally qualifying last, to line up in pole position.

F1 Academy currently uses a partially reversed grid. In Race 2 of their threꦆe-race round, the top eight cars are reordered in reverse. Less points are awarded for 🌠this race than the other two.

But driv🧔ers remain incentivised to qualify in pole position because they retain the usual order for Race 1 and 3.
