Formula 1 bosses have delayed a plan to host an end-of-season race for aspiring drivers until at least 2025.

The idea, dubbed the 'rookie race', was to host a sprint-type event at the post-season test in Abu Dhabi to give young drivers a better opportunity to demonstrate their qualifications to race in F1.

But a meeting of the F1 Commission on Wednesday decided that more time was needed to ensure the idea worked as effectively as possible.

A statement from the FIA said: "While the concept received widespread support, it was determined that, due to timing and organisational constraints, the event would not take place in 2024, and discussions would continue to formulate a potential concept and plan for 2025."



Personally, I love this idea :D . Due to the ban on in-season testing, up-and-coming drivers don't get much of a chance to drive F1 cars before they start racing - so, something like this would help them to gain much-needed experience!

I just hope it'd be televised - because I'd wanna watch it :P .
