Forget everything you know about the traditional Formula 1 weekend. Everything will be different at Silverstone this weekend. Yes, the weekend starts with the first free practice, but it starts late on Friday at 15:30. Qualifying then follows at 7:00 PM, which, as always, lasts an hour.
The weekend will be continued on Saturday at 13:00 with the second free practice, after which Formula 1 awaits an absolute novelty at 17:30. The first sprint qualification in the history of the sport is a fact. The race lasts half an hour and the result determines the starting grid for the race the next day. The top three get points.
The actual Grand Prix will start on Sunday at 4 p.m. More than an hour and a half later we normally know who won the race.
