Three-time F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has backed the sp💙ort’s changes to the sprint format🔜 for the 2024 season.

The Dutchman has been a vocal critic of🌞 F1’s sprint format since its introduction in 2021.

For 2024, the sprint shootout (the qualifying session which decides the sprint event) will t🍷ake place on Friday afternoon - after practice.

The sprint race will 🌳be the first event on Saturday, while conventional qualifying will take place later that day.

Speaking at the launch of the RB20, to select media including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:mahbx.com, Verstappen gave his view on the changeꦇs to the format.

“I think it's a bit more logical, I would say with how the format is formed,” Verstappen s🐬aid.

“For me I don♏'t get more excited by winning a sprint or fighting for these kind of races. But at least a bit more logical I would say.”

Parc ferme regulations are also going to be relaxed, allowing teams to make changes to their cars should they be unable to nail the car setup after just 60 minutes of runningཧ in FP1.

Again, Verstappen was supportive of the change.

“I think that's a bit be🀅tter,” he added. “Sometimes you get stuck, you know that your weakened is ruined you know you can't really change anything.

“So for sure it will help a bit.”

There will be six 🌊sprint events in 2024, taking place in China, Miami, Austria, Brazil and Qatar.
