Lewis Hamilton believes a suggested tweak to the Sprint race format could lead to a silly tactic being employed...
Lewis Hamilton, amongst others, has weighed in with some ideas on how the Sprint race format can be improved.
“Saturday’s not the greatest of days, but I like the single practice session straight into qualifying,” he said. Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz, sitting alongside Hamilton in the press conference, said he wouldn’t like to see any further race weekends handed over to the running of a Sprint event.“I agree that Saturday’s too revealing of what’s going to happen on Sunday. It is basically the first stint of the race of Sunday, what you’re watching on TV, and this doesn’t help, I think, the show for the main race which is the Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc indicated his support for the Sprint format, but agreed that six race weekends is probably enough over the course of a season.“I don’t think we should have more than six Sprint weekends in a year. I think six is good. But to have one free practice and go straight to qualifying is something I enjoy.
