SINGAPORE: Even as heavy rain brought chaos and thrills to the first-ever sprint race at the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix on Oct 10, drivers have questioned whether it “makes sense” to run the shorter-format event on street circuits like Marina Bay.
Introduced in 2021 as part of a move to add variety and excitement to the race weekends, sprint races cover 100km or about one-third the distance of a regular F1 race.

新加坡:尽管10月10日新加坡航空一级方程式新加坡大奖赛的首场冲刺赛遭遇暴雨,场面混乱刺激,但车手们质疑在滨海湾这样的街道赛道上举办这种赛程较短的比赛是否“有意义”。
冲刺赛于 2021 年推出,旨在为比赛周末增添多样性和刺激性。冲刺赛的赛程为 100 公里,约为常规 F1 比赛距离的三分之一。
