Formula One racing will change to a one-lap, one-session qualifying format from the European Grand Prix next weekend, the sport's ruling body announced on Monday.

Qualifying will take place on Saturday over a one-hour session, involving

a single timed lap, the FIA said in a statement.

The controversial Sunday qualifying has been axed. Races so far this season have adopted an aggregate format with the grid decided by the times from Saturday and Sunday.
