F1 sprint rule change made for Austrian GP to prevent repeat of "unintended consequences"

F1’s experimental sprint weekend format is getting its s𒊎econd outing of the season at the Red Bull this weekend.
A rule has been tweaked to prevent a repe♔at of the “unintended consequences” that happened in the new qualifying Shootout session during its debut run at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in April.🌠
The sprint w𒅌eekend rules stated that drivers must use a new set of medium tyres in SQ1 and SQ2, and a new set of softs in SQ3.
But a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:quirk in the rules left McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris and AlphaTauri’s168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Yuki Tsunoda faci♎ng the prospect of not being able to take part in the final segment of sprint qualifying.
Ultimat⛦ely, only Norris progressed to SQ3. Due to not having an unused set of soft tyres available, the 23-year-old Briton did not participate in ꧅the top-10 shootout.
Had he opted to leavꦗe the garage, Norris would have only been allowed to fit intermediate tyres on his car - despite track conditions being dry.
Ahead of the second s🍸print event of the 2023 season, the FIA, F1 and nine of the 10 teams agreed to a rule change to fix the problem.
In his pre-event notes, F1 race director Niels Wittich wrote:“In order to avoid the acknowledged unintended consequence whereby in certain situations at sprint events it becomes attractive to run intermediate tyres on a dry track, the following am♌endment to Article 30.5.h of the Formula 1 sporting r💙egulations is made.
“Consultation has occ🍒urred with the commercial rights holder, stewards and teams. The agreement of the FIA, the commercial rights holder and nine competitors has been obtained in ac𝓡cordance with Article 1.4.
“Accordi🤡ngly, my decision is that Article 30.5 h) iv) be modified to read as follows - Article ꦛ30.5h iv revised wording:
“In the period SQ3 🌜of the ওsprint shootout, up to one set of dry-weather tyres may be used, and this must only be a set of the soft specification.”
