I know everyone likes to shit on sprints, but I'm ok with the FIA experimenting if only to avoid things getting stale. My suggestion would be to run the sprint in reverse qualifying order so even back markers get to fight for some points and you could have a ton of overtakes.

One of the biggest issues with the sprints is that many of the potential good formats are automatically off the table. We won't get something fun like reverse grids anytime soon.

At the moment it's all fairly new and constantly changing but at the end of the day it's nothing unique. It's just a shorter race.

a reverse grid is going to set up too many crash situations with all the inevitable passing. then that brings in a lot of questions about wrecking cars a day before the real race and how all this affects the budget caps

[โ€“] ooboontoo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think just because there's more passing automatically means more crashes. If anything the faster cars would take it easy on the first lap (when most incidents occur) knowing they have the speed to overtake once all the craziness is over.

All that means wasting the first few laps in a 1/3 race that only gives points up to the 8th place. The only way for the 20th to get to the points is to full throttle from the get go.
