No podium celebrations for sprint 'super qualifying'

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali says that he's not envisaging any podium celebrations will take place following sprint races, which are due to be trialled at three weekends in 2021. A shake-up to the Grand Prix event format will see qualifying for the sprint race take place on Friday afternoon in the slot traditionally taken by Free Practice 2.

It would be around a third of the distance of the main race with the drivers finishing in first to eighth place receiving points.
