British Grand Prix: Top three in F1 Sprint qualifying to be awarded wreaths

The Hindu  

The top three finishers in a new Sprint qualifying race that debuts at the British Grand Prix on Saturday will be awarded old-style laurel wreaths in the absence of any podium celebrations. The 100km Sprint will set the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix at Silverstone and, although some points will be awarded to the top three, there will be no formal podium to avoid detracting from the main event. "F1 Sprint is a brand-new and exciting format, so we felt it was important to come up with a post-race moment that was equally special," said Alex Molina, Formula One's Director of Event Spectacle. Britain's seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton is chasing a record-extending eighth British Grand Prix win this weekend but Red Bull's Max Verstappen is 32 points clear after nine races.
