Formula One will have three qualifying sprint races in 2022 with points now given out to the top eight rather than just the top three, it was confirmed at Monday's F1 Commission.
The revised weekend format with qualifying on a Friday evening, a sprint race on Saturday and the main race on Sunday, will take place at April's Emilia Romagna GP, July's Austrian GP and November's Brazilian GP.
The winner of the sprint race at each of those events will score eight points, rather than three like last year, with the points scaling down to eighth position, which will score one point.
