FIA unveils updated F1 weekend schedule
By Trend
The Formula 1 season for 2021 consists of 23 stages, Trend reports with reference to the International Automobile Federation (FIA).
According to the FIA, the championship will start on March 28 in Bahrain and end on December 12 in Abu Dhabi.
“The duration of Friday's workouts has been reduced from 90 minutes to one hour, and the start of the race has been shifted to the beginning of the hour. In addition, at the end of April, the Formula 1 Commission approved plans for three sprint qualifying races in 2021 and approved the format for such a racing weekend,” the FIA said.
“On Friday, after an hour of training, qualifications will take place to determine the starting field for Saturday's sprint race. The results of this race will determine the starting order on Sunday. The winner and two runners-up of Saturday's race will receive additional points according to the ‘3-2-1’ scheme," the federation said.
Moreover, the FIA has approved the date of the Grand Prix and updated the previously published schedule of racing sessions, making amendments to it. The table shows the time in the time zone GMT +3.
