Formula One adds sprint qualifying to three races in 2021

The Hindu  

Formula One said on Monday it will debut a new sprint qualifying format at three races in the 2021 season after it was unanimously approved, with the events to be hosted at two European and one non-European Grand Prix. The results from sprint qualifying -- where drivers will compete over 100 km -- will determine the grid for Sunday's race while the top three finishers also receive three, two and one point respectively. Domenicali had earlier said one of the sprint races would be at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July. Defending champion Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes leads the 2021 standings after two races with 44 points, one point ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
