(Reuters) - Formula One will seek to avoid a scenario where a new points-paying Saturday sprint race format being trialled this season could decide the title, according to managing director Ross Brawn.

The sport wants to host three sprint races in 2021, with the first at Silverstone in July and the second scheduled for Monza in September.
