Yeah my comment was mostly a statement about all the negativity surrounding changes in general.
If you keep having the same it will go stale, so better to experiment and see what sticks, as long as you do it properly and not throwing as much as possible to the wall to see what will stick eventually. Which is not what they’re doing imo.
The thing that is great about sprint races, at least with the format introduced this season, is they are a great opportunity for someone to dip their toes in who is curious about becoming a fan of F1. I think the ability to experience both qualifying and a race in one day, and with a shorter race at that, is the ideal way to introduce someone who’s never watched a race before. Sure, people who are already into the sport may not care for sprint weekends, understandable, but as a tactic for bringing in new fans I think it’s worth doing a few times a year.
Remember when all the fans, drivers, and team principles wanted Sprint races?
Me neither.
Remember the time everyone was against the halo?
Stuff changes and a lot of people are against it, doesn’t mean you can’t try it out.
I honestly love sprint weekends.
