Formula 1 has been busy developing to make the sport more exciting, but still sees plenty of opportunities to work on this. Stefano Domenicali is thinking of a plan to give more talents a chance.

Under the current regulations, teams have the option of using a third driver on Fridays, but most do not take advantage of this. It gives them the opportunity to coordinate matters with Sunday's driver.

Formula 1 wants to give young drivers a chance

If it's up to the CEO, Formula 1 will soon turn these rules around. "I believe that one of the topics to be discussed and explored will be the management of young drivers' growth," he tells Motorsport.com. "The topic of young drivers is very important and interests us, and that is why, at a time when tests are so regulated, there are some ideas that we will discuss in the next meetings with the teams."

"In particular, we want to make the presence of young drivers mandatory in free practice. This will give the teams less time to try things in view of the race, making the event even more exciting."
