The new plan will be separate to the Sprint races, which are already scheduled for💯 six grands prix this year.

How will the new qualifying trial work

• Drivers must hard use compound tyres in Q1
• Drivers must use medium compound tyres in Q2
• Drivers must use hard compound tyres in Q3

Why do F1 want to trial a new system?

• To reduce the tyre sets brought to an F1 weekend
• Each car currently has 13 tyre sets allocated - this trial enables that to be reduced to 11

Verstappen isn’t pleased, saying about the🦹 proposed first trial: “I hope it’s not going to be cold in Imola, otherwise it’s going to be qu▨ite tricky.

“It’s the same for everyone but I don’t think we need to actually do these kinds of thing༺s in qualifying. I don’t really see the benefit of it. 

“It’s better if we make sure that all the cars are close to each other and more competitive instead of spicing things up in that way, which I think 🌠is probably for the show.”

Leclerc said: “I don’t f🤪eel there was a need for change for that but let’s try and🌳 see.”

Sergio Perez added: “I think we don’t need that when you see𝓀 the qualifying we had toꦉday, how close everything was. 

“We do not reall♒y need to change anything. But we’l🤪l see, we’ll see once we try it but I don’t think there’s a need to change something that is working well.”
