For F1 2023 there will be 𓆉six sprint events - Azerbaijan, Austria, Belgium, Qatar, USA and Brazil.

The format has remained unchanged since its inception with qualifying takiﷺng place on Friday🦂 after a single practice session, with the sprint taking place on the Saturday.

The only change has been to the way points are hande🉐d out, with the top eight given points rather than just the t🐎op three.

Sprint races still divide opinion, and Horner ha🅺s suggested a minor change to ensure teams no longer “need ꧃to be conservative”.

"There's many positive things about Sprint ꦰraces, but I think we can still improve the conꦦcept," Horner told .

"The concept of having an independe🃏nt qualifying for Sprint and then another qualifying for the Grand Prix has absolute merit in it, because💮 you don't lose your entire weekend if the Sprint race doesn't go well for you, and it'll take away the need to be conservative.

With F1 set to embark on a 🌊record-breaking 23-race season - it would have been 24 had it not been for China’s cancellation - Horner is wary that the sport is reaching the point of “saturation” with their being too much action.

"There's many positives about the Sprint, but I think i💛t still needs tuning – it can still be better and it's not delivering everything that it could so far," Horner added. "[But with 24 Grands Prix planned in the 2023 season], we are getting close to the point of saturation and, while it is🌞 great there's such demand [to host F1], you should leave people wanting more. 

"We are pushing the boundaries of what's physically possible. F1 is not like NASCAR which just operates in one territory. This is a global World Championship, and the logistics, travel and time zones are brutal. The maximum number for me is 22. 24 is really pushing the envelope. And of course, for us t💧eams doing Sprint races, it is just more cost, and that has got to be taken into account."
