Flavio Briatore’s radical proposal: sprints at every GP weekend

Flavio Briatore, Alpine's special adviser, has backed a proposal to expand Formula 1 sprint races to every Grand Prix weekend. Currently, F1 drivers compete in six sprint races per season, a format introduced in 2021 to provide more on-track action on Fridays. Briatore's support aligns with F1 officials, including CEO Stefano Domenicali, who are pushing for sprint races to become a fixture at all rounds in the future.
