Wreaths are making a comeback for sprint race
Wreaths making a comeback as part of sprint qualifying ceremony.
花环将使他们回到Formula 1 as part of the ceremony for the top three finishers in sprint qualifying at Silverstone.
It was once a regular part of the podium ceremonies in Formula 1 to present the podium finishers with a wreath, but they will now be used under slightly different circumstances as Formula 1 looks to blend old with new.
Formula 1 is keen to keep the prestige of winning a Grand Prix intact, and so the top three insprint qualifying, a 100km, 30-minute sprint race, will not take part in a podium celebration.
Instead, after getting out of their cars, they will set off on a victory parade lap around Silverstone in front of a capacity crowd, during which they will be presented with their uniquely designed wreaths.
The victory parade laps themselves are also a concept of years past which Formula 1 are bringing back for sprint qualifying.
“F1 Sprint is a brand-new and exciting format, so we felt it was important to come up with a post-race moment that was equally special,” said Alex Molina, Director of Event Spectacle at Formula 1, as quoted by the Formula 1 website.
“The moment recognises the seven decades of history in the sport and combines it with a modern twist – very similar to the Sprint itself.”
