Max Verstappen has doubled down on his threat to walk away from Formula 1 after the latest changes to the Sprint weekend structure were approved.
Four of the five F1 sessions over the course of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend will be competitive. It begins as usual with FP1 on Friday but, after that, every other piece of track action in Baku will mean something after the second qualifying session was scrapped.
Qualifying will take place on Friday as usual, with the first Saturday session now a 'shootout' event to set the grid for the Sprint later that day. Sundays are unchanged with the Grand Prix taking place as usual, with the grid set by the result of Friday's qualifying, not the result of the Sprint.
