Formula 1’s current sprint format does not work for fans, drivers or teams, says Red Bull boss Christian Horner.
Despite some entertainment in the Brazil sprint this weekend – especially in battles for midfield spots – there is a growing feeling that the current standalone Saturday format is not delivering what it should for F1. And having failed to capture the imagination of drivers, with some wanting sprints to be got rid of completely, Horner says the way sprints work at the moment is not favoured by anybody.

Maybe you have to look at something that is a little bit different like that, which has a bigger reward attached to it.” Photo by: Simon Galloway / Motorsport Images Christian Horner, Team Principal, Red Bull Racing Horner also admits he doesn’t have a preference for how sprints should be shaken up, but he was sceptical about the idea of a standalone series.
