After tr꧃ialing three sprint races at the British, Italian and Sao Paulo Grands Prix last season, F1 c🌠hiefs were aiming to increase the number of events to six for the upcoming 2022 campaign.

With teams r✤estricted to operating within a $꧑145million budget cap last year, they were given an extra $450,000 to cover the three sprint races, along with allowances of up to $100,000 per car to cover potential accident damage.

According to Brown, F1’s plans to expand the number ofཧ sprint races this season could be derailed becaus🅠e some teams are pushing for an increase to the budget cap, which falls to $140m for 2022.

“We might not, which would be the unfortunate thing,” Brow♕n was quoted by the BBC when asked how F1 can resolve the stand-off. 

“We all have the same challenge,” he added. “If you do happen to have more incidents, that's the same 🌼🧸problem we all have. 

“And to me that's part of the sport. It is dealing with challenges: not I ju꧒st want to solve it by getting my chequebook o𒅌ut.”

Brown claimed one unnamed team wants the cost cap lim🌃it increased by $5m. 

"A couple of𒈔 teams, and one team in particular, wanted a $5m budget cap increase, which was just ridiculous," ♈he said. 

"And no rational facts behind it. When you challenged them, th𒐪ey go to what if and could and you've got to anticipate. You sit there and go 'This is just nonsen🀅se.’”

Under F1’s current governance structure, the world championship requires a ‘super majority’ of 28 votes from the 30ꦯ representatives in the F1 Commission to successfully push through changes for this year. 

Eight out of the 10 teams would ne🍒ed to agree on the details in order for the sprint plan to get the green light. 

However, only five teams woul▨d need to be aligned in order to vote through more sprint events for 2023. Brown suggested F1 should focus on reaching an agreement for next season before attempting to resolve the impasse regarding 2022. 

🌜“There’s a lower threshold required to get it through for ’23, so I’d like us not to run into a situation where we’re voting in ’23 where we have to get votes because we passed a milestone date,” he said. 

“I th♓i🧸nk we should go ahead and lock in now for ’23 with no budget cap raise at all, if you want to be hard about it.

"Maybe there can be a compromise raised and we raise it a little bit, an⛎d we start in 2022 or we skip 202🦩2, and a couple of these teams should have to explain to the fans why there is no sprint races."
