Silverstone has been chosen to pioneer a revolutionary new sprint race at this year's British Grand Prix. For sure we do not want to take away the prestige of the Grand Prix itself. We will have qualifying on Friday and then "sprint qualifying" on Saturday. What I can say is that Silverstone will hold a sprint race.' Monza in Italy, Brazil and Canada are the other contenders to host a trial sprint race.
