Four hours lasted the F1 Commission Meeting on Monday. Several subjects were discussed, although not all have been finally decided yet. In any case, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is happy that Red Bull Racing and Mercedes have buried the hatchet and can get on with each other again.
"They were in line. I think it's because of Valentine's Day," jokes Ben Sulayem at Sky Sports, before continuing: "They were close to each other and they were in a good mood, so that was good. I expected more entertainment but it was good to see the harmony between them."
On Monday, all team bosses were asked for their opinions on the closing stages of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Those opinions are still being taken into account in the research currently being carried out by the FIA. The results will be discussed with the teams somewhere in the coming weeks. The fans will have to wait until March 18.
What is already known?
In any case, it is already clear that three sprint races will be held again in 2022. On the circuits of Imola, the Red Bull Ring, and Interlagos the teams will fight for a maximum of eight points on Saturday. The number two will receive seven points, the number three will receive six points, and so on. This is considerably more than was the case last year.
In addition, the rules change when a race cannot be completed. If, for example, severe weather prevents the cars from returning to the track, a number of points will be awarded depending on how many percent of the laps have been driven. What is also new is that a minimum of two laps must be driven without a safety car in order for points to be awarded.
