This season in Formula 1, three sprint races will be held - at Imola, Red Bull Ring and Interlagos, the management of the competition announced today.

Sprint races were introduced into the competition last season, drivers drove 100 kilometers and each lasted from 25 to 30 minutes. The order in Saturday's sprint races determined the order in the Formula 1 races, which are on the program on Sunday.

Sprint races will be held in Italy, Austria and Brazil, and the scoring system has been changed compared to last year. Points will be awarded to the top eight drivers, starting with the winner who will take eight points, unlike last year when the top three drivers won points.

Qualifying will be on Fridays and will determine the order for the sprint races.

Last season, three sprint races were held, at Silverstone, Monza and Sao Paolo.
