Formula One approved a plan to hold three sprint races instead of six in 2022 at an F1 Commission meeting on February 14, the FIA said in a statement.
The move will see the sprint format used at races in Imola's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and the Austrian and Brazilian Grands Prix, the FIA said in a statement.
The sport was set to roll the format out across six events this season after having trialled it at three grands prix last year.
