So no Grand Prix? I doubt FOM would be willing to not do GPs on Sprint Weekends.

Until now, Ben Sulayem had been reluctant to expand beyond six sprints per season, citing the impact on FIA personnel workload and finances. But as previously reported, FOM is understood to be keen to hit double digits as soon as the 2027 season, as sprint weekends have had a net positive impact on race promoters and the commercial side of the business.

10 sprints per season? No thanks.
