Formula One is planning big changes for the 2021 season, but one of the only tweaks planned for 2020 has split opinion in the paddock.
With the prospect of one full year -- featuring a record 22 races -- to come before the overhaul F1 hopes brings the sport's playing field closer together, discussions are ongoing about whether to mix up the tried and tested weekend formula at some places.
What's the idea?
The proposal is not a radical overhaul of qualifying, but rather an experimental approach slated for three or four races in 2020.
The idea is quite simple: on Saturday, a sprint race (much shorter than your conventional grand prix) would take place instead of the current Q1-Q2-Q3 qualifying format, with a starting grid set in reverse order of the championship standings.
