Some #f1 chat….

I can’t help feeling that the sprint is a bit pointless with the new format? The teams down the back have nothing to gain for Sundays race as that’s decided on Friday…even Lewis said the sprint is pointless 🤔

@kevroberts I agree, but on the other hand I disliked the previous sprint format as apart from allowing good cars that qualified badly to recover it didn't do anything either as the risk of screwing the sunday part of basically the continuing race was too high.

@piglet yeah that’s true too! I do like the idea of a sprint day but think the format isn’t quite right yet, feels like it’s a standalone event that’s been put in the middle of quali and race day.

@kevroberts yeah, that's the biggest downer on the current format. I'd be happy to bin sprints entirely not because I'm against the idea but because I don't think they add much to the weekend currently.
