"At two races in the 2023 season, Formula 1 confirmed its intention to
run a trial of a new format, in which the Q1, Q2 and Q3 sessions would
remain, but only certain compounds of tyres will be allowed to be used,
in an attempt to reduce the number of sets of tyres the teams use over
the course of a weekend.
"This test will entail drivers only being allowed to use hard tyres in
Q1, medium tyres in Q2 and soft tyres in Q3, but the rounds at which
these trials will take place are yet to be confirmed."
(from PlanetF1.com)
The current sporting regulations do confirm this (Revised Qualifying
Format, or RQF) although they say "at up to two" races.
