F1 has postponed a proposal to stage a post-season, rookie-only sprint race event in Abu Dhabi by a year.
has abandoned a plan to stage a sprint race solely for rookie drivers after the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
A plan will be formulated for the concept to instead be staged at the end of the 2025 season due to “timing and organisational constraints” which were flagged during the latest meeting of the F1 Commission on Wednesday. "While the concept received widespread support, it was determined that due to timing and organisational constraints, the event would not take place in 2024, and discussions will continue to formulate a potential concept and plan for 2025.”“These involve an increase of the expected aerodynamic performance of the cars following extensive collaboration between the teams and the FIA over the last few months,” they said.
“These three updates will be presented at the World Motor Sport Council meeting on Thursday, October 17.”
