F1's new sprint format has been approved

- Friday qualifying sets Sunday grid, Saturday standalone
- Saturday qualifying (Q1 - 12 mins, Q2 - 10 mins, Q3 - 8 mins) called 'sprint shootout' and sets sprint grid
- Sprint shootout mandatory tyres: Q1 and Q2 medium, Q3 soft


I don't get the reasoning behind this. Is it supposed to be more exciting for the the fans? Is the shootout actual racing or will they still basically be making individual laps? I'm definitely not a fan of making it worth championship points.

Liberty trying to jam pack more entertainment to sell.

Scared it is drifting to NASCAR stages, competition cautions, and playoffs.

I posted in last years thread, but the sprints should be reversed grid based off prior race results.

Practice 2

We don't have tickets for this year but I'd go to both of those shows.

Avid hater of the sprint races checking in


I'll still watch, and I'll still give the new format a shot, but I doubt it swings my hatred any.

We went last year. Awesome trip. Beautiful city and great track. We ended up in the grandstands at the start/finish line for the 3 days. Tickets were very reasonable, especially compared to the US races. I would do it every year if possible.

And give yourselves a couple of extra days in Montreal. It really is an awesome city.

Still available.

Went last year and stayed real conservative on plans. Stayed downtown, walked back from the track once, got screwed on flight drama.

Doing it again this year and looking to stay further out to save some money on hotels. Flights are pretty pricey, but you can fly into Burlington and drive the rest the way.

As for the race, it was great. Lines out are long, no way around that. Weather was amazing, people are great. Didn't see anywhere I would recommend general admission though.

Without a doubt. To and from the track is really quick so make plans to do stuff outside the race.

Without a doubt. Just going to be like putting socks on a rooster to get him to wear it.

If F2 is there he'll want to put them on. They are LOUD as are the F1 cars when they trundle down the pit lane. The F1 cars aren't that loud when racing.
