Circuits wanting the honour of hosting a grand prix need to pay a hefty amount into the F1 coffers. It would simply be bad business for a circuit/promoter to pay the cost of a hosting an F1 race and then not get some money back.

In his book, The Power of Playing Offense, Epstein takes a people-first approach to help leaders elevate purpose, performance and impact. Today’s SBJ Spotlight podcast features two interviews from this week’s SportTechie State of the Industry conference in New York. First up, NBPA Executive Director Tamika Tremaglio talks with SBJ’s Abe Madkour about how media and technology will be the keys to increasing revenue for NBA players and owners, and why it’s crucial to be more revealing about the personal and business lives of players. Driver rivalries are "central to the narrative of the show." F1 broadcaster and journalist Will Buxton, though, "remains on the fence" about whether an American driver would "necessarily impact Formula 1’s popularity." But after experiencing his own personal and career transformation, Epstein embarked on a mission to tackle a crisis of leadership. Drivers and team principals "feel it is important that Formula 1 finds a balance between welcoming the new and preserving the old" ( N.Y. TIMES, 4/22). F1 Dir of Media Rights & Content Creation Ian Holmes said that the producers "need to be mindful of his concerns" and that it was "important for teams and drivers to feel comfortable participating in the series." Red Bulldriver Max Verstappen has become the "only driver to refuse to be interviewed for the series" because he thought it "faked rivalries and exaggerated incidents." With three Grands Prix in the U.S., including one in Austin, the "next major hurdle" for F1 is a "return to Africa." A new deal to return to Kyalami, a circuit north of Johannesburg, is "close to being completed." F1 has "spoken with the producers of the show and the teams after Verstappen’s complaints." HIT SHOW: In N.Y., Luke Smith writes Netflix's "Formula 1: Drive to Survive" series has "been a hit for the sport, attracting droves of new fans by highlighting the personalities of the drivers inside the cockpit." This season there will be a record 23 races, with a new race in Miami in May. Next season, F1 will return to Las Vegas after a 41-year absence.

Austria and Sao Paulo will also provide the settings for Sprint races during the 2022 season. That makes the Sprint more likely to prove pivotal in deciding where drivers finish this season. Hamilton won the full British Grand Prix race, where Verstappen did not finish after a hugely controversial collision with the home hero. What does the Sprint race entail? Pit stops are not mandatory, meaning the race lives up to its name by giving drivers the chance to go flat-out for victory from the start. How is it likely to affect the standings, and what time and where can F1 fans watch it?

Williams’ focus of Imola modifications have been aimed at helping improve its top speed – both with and without the DRS effect. AlphaTauri has also changed the lower surface of its front wheel scoop – making it shorter but wider.

Verstappen then grabbed the top spot with 1m27.999s, 0.779s faster than Leclerc, despite being forced to lift off for Valtteri Bottas stopping in the final sector ahead of him, which caused another red flag. Rain fell during the break, meaning there would be no further improvements. Time The session began on a slightly damp but quickly drying track. Time The result of Saturday’s sprint race sets the grid for Sunday’s main event.

Max Verstappen took pole position for Red Bull in a nailbiting qualifying session ahead of the inaugural F1 Sprint of 2022 at Imola.

It was very slippery to get the tyre temps to work. Vettel sealed Aston Martin's first Q3 appearance of 2022 in P8 (and emerged for a late intermediate run alongside Leclerc), Ricciardo and Bottas rounding out the top 10. Verstappen then improved to a 1m 27.999s, just after Bottas crashed to bring out a red flag going into Turn 16. “It was tricky out there with the rain… The rain then returned to ensure a damp finish to Friday evening. It was a hectic, long qualifying but of course at the end happy to be here. Dry line now clear, Lance Stroll set the first benchmark for Aston Martin – before the session was red flagged with 12 minutes remaining, Albon’s right-rear brake up in flames and spreading red-hot debris in its wake. Verstappen led Leclerc out but, given how difficult their out-laps seemed, it was clear that neither driver would improve. Nearly eight-tenths off, Leclerc had one last chance to pry provisional pole away from the reigning champion but was left second and 0.799s off after the red flag. The Spaniard went second, 0.197s off then-leader Verstappen, but spun and crashed going into the final left-hander. The umbrellas soon unfurled, and those drivers’ fates were essentially sealed. Tsunoda’s team mate Gasly could only take P17, making it an early elimination for both of AlphaTauri's drivers at their home circuit.

Championship leader Charles Leclerc took the second spot on the grid for the sprint race, ahead of Lando Norris in third and Kevin Magnussen in fourth.

Lewis Hamilton said his Mercedes was driving "like a rattlesnake" but the Briton tamed his car on Saturday to qualify fifth for the Australian Grand Prix in a much-improved performance. His was not the last red flag, however, as in the finale to the day's action, Norris slipped off into a wall to trigger the final red flag of the day. However, both seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton and George Russell failed to make the cut to the top-ten shootout as their Mercedes team failed to progress for the first time in a decade. Lando Norris was third for McLaren ahead of Kevin Magnussen of Haas, Fernando Alonso of Alpine and Daniel Ricciardo, who was sixth in the second McLaren. Championship leader Charles Leclerc took the second spot on the grid for the sprint race, ahead of Lando Norris in third and Kevin Magnussen in fourth. The 24-year-old Dutchman drove his Red Bull with care and aplomb to avoid problems on a day of frequent crashes and five red flags that left Ferrari's championship leader frustrated.

The Imola Grand Prix weekend will feature the first sprint race of the season. That means F1 qualifying is coming up on Friday with major stakes.

Dan Marcus picks the DFS contest and best bets for this weekend's Formula 1 race in Italy where Valtteri Bottas looks to continue his momentum.

A bet on Alpine as the constructor for a race win — or even podium — is a bet on chaos as there's little to no chance they move past Red Bull or Ferrari on pure pace. There's not much value in betting Ferrari or Leclerc at this point, so I like a pivot to Sergio Perez. There has been chatter that the Red Bull is set up more to his liking than Verstappen's. Turning more to an evidence-based approach, we are only two races removed from Perez winning pole and having a legitimate chance to win the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix if not for an ill-timed yellow flag. Valtteri Bottas has finished in the points in two of three races, and he was forced to retire in the other grand prix. While Zhou Guanyu has not looked out of place in his first three races in F1, Bottas should have the advantage over his rookie teammate — a factor that is key to picking up DK points. Leclerc/Ferrari is the obvious stack to begin the lineup as a result. Meanwhile, Mercedes has been off the pace through three races and can't be reasonably projected to contend for race wins without odd circumstances taking place ahead of it on the grid.

Repeating the feat in race trim will be tricky, but confidence is growing inside the team – and there is still one hour of practice to work on long runs. There’s also second practice on Saturday morning, where the conditions are expected to be the warmest and driest they’ve been all weekend, with that good weather set to continue for the rest of the weekend. That ultimately left him P10 and his team with a lot of work to do overnight to rebuild his F1-75. He was confident when we spoke in the morning that Red Bull were on top of their reliability issues and hopeful they could be in the fight this weekend. This was Mercedes’ most chastening performance of a challenging 2022 season. Here are five things we learned from practice and qualifying…

Remarkably Friday's Formula 1 qualifying session in Imola was the first time since Japan 2012 that Mercedes did not have a car in Q3.

“So the remit of the power unit people is to focus on that, and look at any fine tuning that we can do to find gains. “We're constantly doing analysis on that,” says Shovlin. “There's areas that we think we can improve in terms of managing the deployment. “But as an aside, we're still working hard to try and understand, get on top and solve the bouncing. We just didn't have the grip that we needed to be quick.” One is, could we could we have run the earlier part of the session better? The developments we brought here, we were aware that they're not going to affect that. But we should be able to perform in the same position that we're racing, which is realistically third-quickest team." “As I said, we still need to understand why we can't match some of the mid-grid teams, even. As I said, we don't know whether there's something else in terms of how we're setting the car up, or how we're approaching the way that we're generating heat in the tyres. “And we've not got to the bottom of it. “On a single lap, a lot of the midfield teams are better than us. In Bahrain it doesn't really cost you, and all the other tracks, it's actually been a bit of a difficulty in qualifying.

“At least thinking positively, I will have Sprint quali and the race to recover,” said Sainz. “As a target, [I want] to move forward, try and rescue some solid points. I didn’t have any warning that I was going to lose it and it just went. “It was not a lap that was properly on the limit at all, it was a lap that was okay just to put a banker in without putting it on the limit, and unfortunately I lost it, the car, for some reason.

The Alpine-backed youngster was involved in a collision with fast-charging Red Bull junior Isack Hadjar on the approach to the first chicane and was pitched into the gravel. Collet, who led for much of the race after passing pole man Colapinto on the fourth lap, left empty-handed after he was involved in a clash mere seconds after losing top spot.

“The combination of mixed conditions and the Sprint format is very tricky and today we did not rise to the occasion. It was a bit of a shame with how the red flags panned out today but if there is a weekend to not be where we want to be, a sprint weekend is the one to do it. Hopefully we can move forward in the F1 Sprint tomorrow and secure a better starting position for the race on Sunday.” “Having missed the wet running in Barcelona shakedown, today was the first running on the 18" wet and intermediate tyres, so we had plenty to learn in FP1. Our wet performance was good, but the Inters struggled to warm up. We were moving towards a schedule of longer runs but with the red flags we couldn’t get the laps that we needed and once the rain came, we were left in 11th and 13th with no chance to improve. It was my first time in Q3 in 2022 and the first time this year for both cars in Q2, which is a great effort by the team. “Our objective before the session was to have at least one car in Q2 and one in Q3, and in this regard, we accomplished it. There was a chance we maybe could have done a little bit better, I think there was a bit left in it at the end and it would have been nice to go for that lap and attack one more time, but I just made a mistake and caught the white line. “It was a really strong session for us until we had to stop the car for a technical issue. It’s all to play for tomorrow and hopefully we have a bit of luck on our side to be able to maybe get into the points.” “It feels good to be in the top five after a messy qualifying with all of the changing conditions and red flags. I’m happy we had good pace and happy we’re in a good position and up the pointy end.

Former Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg has backed his old boss Toto Wolff to revive the team's fortunes, after their trying start to the 2022 season so far.

“It just shows that the stress is starting to get to them within there, because rather than going forward at the moment, they’re actually going backwards. “Toto is obviously one of the best team leaders that we’ve ever seen in the sport,” Rosberg told Sky Sports F1. “He’s very, very strong in keeping people together and motivated. If I have to speculate now, it looked to me that Toto was annoyed about something Lewis had done, which might be understandable.

15 mins to lights out: There are a few drivers who will be looking to make up places as they qualify for the full length race tomorrow. Of the cars with medium tyres, Magnussen is the furthest forward. He came together with Gasly, who gets new parts in the pits and will rejoin the back of the pack. Some teams struggled to get heat in their tyres yesterday, and they'll be hoping for a more driveable circuit today. Lap 12: Sainz gets past Magnussen, to cheers from the home fans. Perez is up to P4, and it's Lando Norris separating Perez from his teammate in P2. Formation lap: A mix of soft and medium tyres, as the teams begin the formation lap. Fernando Alonso is slow off the mark, with a couple of cars overtaking him. It was an interesting choice from Haas to go with the medium tyres.

The championship leader skated away, Verstappen in tow. Green-flag racing would resume on Lap 5, Leclerc leading Verstappen then Norris at the time. Friday's wet qualifying session set the grid for this Sprint, Verstappen having taken pole position over Leclerc with Lando Norris leading Kevin Magnussen off the second row. Gearbox issues put Esteban Ocon 19th for the start of the Sprint and he made up three places for P16 in the Alpine, keeping Gasly – who collided with Zhou at the start and pitted for a nose change – 17th. Magnussen held on for the final point, finishing ahead of Alpine's Fernando Alonso in P9 – who started fifth but couldn't contend with his rivals' pace on the softs – and the other Haas of Mick Schumacher, who took P10 on mediums. It was Leclerc, to a rapturous reception from the tifosi, who took the lead off Verstappen as the lights went out – only for the Safety Car to interrupt proceedings as Zhou Guanyu (DNF) and Pierre Gasly (P19) made contact through Turn 9 on Lap 1.

Lewis Hamilton has compared his Mercedes W13 with the 2009 McLaren MP4-24, the Formula 1 car he regards as the worst he has ever experienced.

"And unfortunately, we got on track and we didn't see that... And we got there." "But I didn't have the experience at the time. "The new rules said that we would have 50% less downforce in 2009, so they designed the car to have 50%, less downforce! And I have the utmost faith that my team can do that here too." "And I can assure you I have.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen overthrew Charles Leclerc late on to win the first sprint race of the 2022 Formula 1 season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

And Perez kept putting the slipstream out of the final corner for the run into the chicane to good use as he then copied the manoeuvre on Norris with the help of DRS to climb to third. That brought Verstappen close out of Rivazza and gave him the slipstream, which combined with DRS, allowed him to make his move around the outside into Tamburello. Leclerc gave his rival space at the first apex, and Verstappen kept within the painted lines to make the move stick before romping to a 1.5s lead before sealing the win by 2.9s. Leclerc had not made an error, as Verstappen brought the gap below a second and then used DRS and the slipstream out of the final corner to bring the difference down to half a second. Leclerc settled a little over the 1s threshold for three tours and then on lap seven, set what was at the time the fastest lap of the race to stretch his cushion to 1.5s over the RB18. With the aid of DRS and as his Ferrari rival battled oversteer, Verstappen dived around the outside into Tamburello and kept his car on track to take the win and pole for the full GP on Sunday. Leclerc had nailed his launch and with the kink on the main straight placing him on the inside, he could sprint past a wheel-spinning Verstappen to seize first into Tamburello.

Alex Albon gained a couple of places on Saturday afternoon, but Williams’ struggles on the soft compound tyres meant he didn’t have the pace to make any further progress. Mick Schumacher was one of two drivers inside the top-12 to start on the medium tyre – his team mate Magnussen the other. Daniel Ricciardo was one of two drivers who got no running in FP2, but the team did a great job to get the Australian sorted for F1 Sprint. His getaway was strong – and he could have been fourth, but got sandwiched between Perez and Kevin Magnussen and dropped back. Having emerged unscathed from his contact with Ricciardo on Lap 1, he fought valiantly and while the Haas driver ultimately slid down the order to ultimately lose four places – only one driver lost more – he held on to eighth, which was the last points-paying position. Imola host the first edition of F1 Sprint in 2022, with Max Verstappen fighting back from a poor start to re-pass championship leader Charles Leclerc and come out on top in a thrilling 21-lap event. That said, considering McLaren’s struggles early in the year, Norris conceded that to finish best of the rest in fifth was a step forward.
