The SPRINT F1-Koji format takes place in six racing weekends through a 24-race campaign and offers additional points to the best eights-Sadding its own 100 KM qualifying session and a race in a short form of 100 KM, efficiently standing except the main Grand Prix that bears big points and historic prestige.
Hamilton’s victory of light to treasure on Saturday at 19 rounds in China does not extend a 105-winning record of the race, but he will do so on Sunday, a longer shot after continuing to qualify for that main 56-round large Prix in the fifth after less acceptable from Ferrari.
