"Verstappen Dominates Austrian Grand Prix Sprint, Hulkenberg Shines for Haas"

Max Verstappen wins the wet-dry Austrian Grand Prix sprint from pole position, extending his winning streak to five races. He dominated the race, finishing over 21 seconds ahead of his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez. Carlos Sainz of Ferrari secured third place, while Nico Hulkenberg surprised with a sixth-place finish for Haas. The sprint weekend format, introduced in 2021, continues with a shortened race on Saturday setting the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix. Red Bull's Verstappen remains the favorite for the Austrian Grand Prix, with Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso as the next-best contender.

"F1's Sprint Format: Rule Details, Tweaks, Upgrades, and Criticisms Explained"

F1 teams are studying the revised regulations for the new sprint race weekend format, which includes the Sprint Shootout qualifying session. The new format will have a compressed Q1/Q2/Q3 qualifying format, with the three sessions running for 12 minutes, 10 minutes, and eight minutes. Drivers can only use medium tyres for SQ1 and SQ2, and for the final session, just a soft. Parc ferme rules will remain in force, and any changes made to the settings before the start of the sprint race mean that the car must start from the back of the grid for the Saturday race as well as Sunday’s main event. The FIA has left the door open to allowing itself to make emergency changes on a specific race weekend without going through the traditional process.
