Motor racing-Formula One still 'ironing out' sprint race details

Formula One still has some issues to resolve before a new sprint qualifying format can be accepted for selected grand prix weekends this season, Haas team boss Guenther Steiner said on Thursday.

The sport had hoped to get everything sorted before Sunday's start of the season in Bahrain but is set for more talks this weekend."There’s a few details to be ironed out but I think we’re in a fast moving world and we just need to adapt to it to stay current," Steiner told reporters on a video call, adding he assumed it would happen.

Motorsport.com reported that teams were divided over the level of financial compensation for potential extra costs due to crash damage. The experiment looks likely to award championship points for the top three on Saturday, as well as the usual points from Sunday's race, at three of the 23 planned grands prix.
