I love a normal F1 weekend, but this sprint shit ruins it. You get a half assed quali because they didn't get enough practice, then another half assed quali followed by a stupidly short race and only then you get some proper racing, if people aren't getting disqualified for breach of regulations due to not enough practice sessions.

The original F1 weekend format is perfect, why mess withit?!? (Yes, money, I'm aware)

Also the Friday quali session runs while a ton of people are at work, so it doesn’t get watched either

Yea I know they say they’re trying to drum up Friday viewership but… most of of the plebs are at work. Sorry F1 but I have to work to pay for YouTubeTV to watch you, that means the best I can do is record fridays events anti watch later. There’s no way I can watch qualifying live on Friday

Totally agree. The disqualifications that happened can be pretty much attributed to the minimal prep times teams were given.

Parc ferme on Friday is dumb as hell.
