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 this year but I prefer it to the previous sprint race format where drivers wouldn’t take risks incase they tumbled down the grid for Sundays main race. Where it gets interesting is if there are two drivers fighting for the championship like 2021

@Nigel_g yeah that’s also true. I like the concept of the sprint day but not sure they’ve got it right yet…Saturday feels like a standalone event at the moment

@kevroberts I ageee with that - possibly non the worse for it but it feels like a seperate stand alone event for tv.
