F1 Teams Support Post-Season Rookie Sprint Race Proposal

Christian Horner and other team principals advocate for a non-championship sprint race to showcase young drivers at the end of the season.

Christian Horner proposed replacing the regular post-season young driver test in Abu Dhabi with a non-championship 10-car sprint race for rookies.
The sprint race would include qualifying and a 100km race on the same day, giving rookies a chance to compete without teams worrying about car damage.
Haas boss Ayao Komatsu and Sauber representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi also expressed strong support for the initiative.
The proposed format aims to provide more meaningful opportunities for young drivers to demonstrate their skills in current Formula 1 cars.
Logistical challenges such as television coverage and specific regulations need to be resolved, but there is a clear will among teams to make the change this season.
