The Japan Times reports that Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali has indicated that shorter 'sprint races' could become a regular feature in the 2027 season. These sprint races would take place on Saturday mornings, featuring only eight points for the winner, and would replace the traditional second Friday practice session with qualifying.
