the requirement of the teams to run junior drivers will be doubled in 2025, currently the requirement has been for each team to field a junior driver on two separate occasions, with each of the two regular race drivers having to sit out a single session to hand over their car to a junior (defined as a driver with 2 or fewer GPs).
from 2025 onwards, all 20 drivers will be required to sit out 2 sessions.

I think the problem was plain to see someone outside the top 10 can put new tyres and get no reward unlike a front runner who needs to maintain track position

Good bye to a bad idea. Now just need to get rid of the pointless sprint races. Or make the sprint races pointless...

Sprint races only work if there is another variable involved

id go reverse grid non championship, or have that time as a F1 youth championship. help bridge the gap from F1 to F2

That is a good decision by the FIA.

I like the idea of a separate sprint race championship for junior drivers only.

They should have been reverse grid, qualifying races but that would have been far too exciting and may have disadvantaged Red Bull.

We are still unsure if any team would sign Colapinto for the next season. He has impressed everyone with his performances so far and I personally would like to see him racing in F1 next season.

I think he is best placed at Williams to learn the car and get himself a seat for 2026 because the team want to look after him and develop him. If he was at Red Bull they throw him to the wolves if it goes wrong

Alpine - I can;t see their long term strategy which makes me think Williams had better put an option clause on him to protect him

If the source is credible I wonder what was it that lead to his sacking. The Verstappen fans are no doubt happy having complained about Red flag timing last race

apparantly its correct, craig slater is reporting the same. they say its a fallout with fia president. which if true. his days must be numbered because he is stockpiling plenty of enemies. managed to upset all 20 drivers & now is upsetting the stewards
