    Sprint races have only ever been a feature in amatuer racing? Now showing at the "Pinnacle"of racing! What's next? Cameo drivers from lower formulae?

    It's a motor race so I don't mind it. Some changes needed though:

    1. There should be 2 practice sessions before Sprint Q.
    2. Be more lenient with parc ferme after the Sprint Race.
    3. Too many points on offer this year.
    4. Set a fixed number of laps across all 3 Sprint Races.
    5. Do it earlier in the day. Give the teams sufficient time to work on any damage and/or improve the cars. They should be at their best come the Grand Prix.

    I won't mind if the Sprint goes away but they might as well do it right while it's in place.

    Just a single change back to the way it normally has been is all that's needed:)
    Convoluted complications don't make for added excitement-just more chances for added
    frustration?

    Sprint races ruin the main race. why?

    We had a great mixed up grid, promising to be an exciting race and now after the sprint, we're mostly back in 2 by 2 order which will probably make the race boring.
    also sprint races give drivers/teams a 'free pass' if they mess up qually.

    Sprint race was OK for us but I'm still not too keen, it was exciting but the last laps were disheartening.

    Looking like the teams were pushing for 6! WHY? the fans don't want them and don't like them. All for the show...

    Fortunately, the FIA has put a stop to it for now.

    I'm glad that's been quelled for now at least but hopefully that "bright idea" will die permanently!
