System 1 might not maintain any dash occasions in the course of the 2022 season with groups unable to agree the main points, and accused of holding out for more cash by McLaren chief govt Zak Brown.
F1 had deliberate to double the variety of dash qualifying occasions from three final season to 6 in 202.
Nevertheless such a transfer requires the settlement of eight groups, and Brown believes that is probably not achieved.
To compensate groups for the elevated quantity of racing and potential injury attributable to the dash occasions, groups got a small cost final yr for the three occasions held.
Brown has instructed that a few of the grid at the moment are pushing to extend the price range cap, and should block any dash occasions if this request is just not granted.
“A few groups, and one staff particularly, needed a $5m price range cap improve, which was simply ridiculous,” Brown advised the BBC.
“And no rational information behind it. Whenever you challenged them, they go to what if and will and also you’ve received to anticipate. You sit there and go ‘That is simply nonsense’.”
Dash occasions, contested over 100km to find out the grid for the Sunday race in lieu of ordinary qualifying, have been new to F1 in 2021.
They have been held on the British, Italian and Brazilian Grands Prix, and have been usually fashionable – F1 has reportedly proven groups knowledge that their introduction elevated viewing figures and revenue from sponsorship.
But if the enlargement of the format is to be accredited for this calendar yr, it requires a quorum of 80%, whereas Brown says “won’t” occur, including that this is able to be “unlucky”.
Extra probably, then, could also be that it’s launched forward of the 2023 season, which might require solely half of the grid to agree.
“Perhaps there is usually a compromise raised and we elevate it slightly bit, and we begin in 2022 or we skip 2022, and a few these groups ought to have to elucidate to the followers why there isn’t a dash races,” Brown mentioned.
Autosport had reported that F1 had been focusing on the Bahrain Grand Prix, Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Canadian Grand Prix, Austrian Grand Prix, Dutch Grand Prix and Brazilian Grand Prix for the sprints if they’re accredited.
The System 1 season is because of begin on March 20 in Bahrain.
