Stefano Domenicali said the sprint format will expand next year as promoter demand and Friday attendance continue to rise.
- Formula One will have more sprint races in 2027 than the current six, but will maintain the scarcity value, CEO Stefano Domenicali said on Thursday.
- The Sprint format continues to drive higher Friday and daily attendances, as the events offer competitive action on all three days of a race weekend.
- Domenicali previously highlighted the impact at Silverstone, noting that 150,000 people attended on Friday, and suggested fans should "stay tuned" for further calendar details.
- Flavio Briatore, boss of Renault-owned Alpine, argues Formula One should host a sprint at every race weekend, stating current Friday technical sessions do "nothing for the spectator."
- Liberty Media reported a 38% revenue decrease to $764 million for the second quarter due to fewer races, while Domenicali expects the 2027 season will feature 24 rounds.
