Come on F1, if you’re gonna do Sprints, embrace my idea, reverse grid set by the prior weeks GP finish.


Actually wouldn't mind a reverse grid if it had nothing to do with earning points.

Not sure if there is some way to reward with more tunnel time, cap space, or just straight cash money. Maybe 5% for 1st, 4.5% for 2nd, etc. And maybe also Gain .5% for every place you advance up to 10% for any race.

Keeping them in parc ferme is the biggest thing working against making sprints something other than just a restrained parade.

They have a budget cap now so there is zero need for parc ferme.

And it has always been dumb during sprint weekends. "Let's run a race and then run another race the next day with the exact same setups on the cars and expect something different to happen!"

Why didn’t George give up then if its so easy.
he was on the inside. You hang out on the outside long enough you're going to either get hit or hit the barrier especially on a street circuit. It's a case of risk vs reward. Max should have given up the spot then breezed back around on the straight. The merc is a pig

Max and George were both right today. George never ran Max out of room and never did anything terribly egregious. Max was slightly ahead in turn 2 and took the risk that George would back out.

Not sure stewards even took the contact under review because it was such nonsense.

This type of racing has been welcomed back in the last few years, somewhat because of how Max raced.

I don't disagree but if I'm in that RB I don't take a chance at contact that may end my race. Max smacked the wall with the RR hard enough to have Tsunodaed his race. You gotta recognize that the second drs is enabled, Ichabod is toast.

Agree totally. Hamilton did this for years when the Merc was a powerhouse. Max will eventually capitulate when these situations come up.

You have the car to overtake them, just give it a chance. Killer instinct is killer instinct though, Max gonna have to fight it sometimes.

I mean seriously he cried about it the entire safety car period and then Racey spice melted after max made such a CLEAN pass on ichabod. I've watched F1 long enough to know they act like toddlers tossing their toys from the pram but give it a rest already. You're the 2 time defending world champion. Start acting like it.

To be fair Hamilton bitched about shite all the way through 8 WDC.

When you're winning everyone bills it as whining. It is some strategy to bitch. Makes the stewards pay attention.

Alonso has made a career out of it. Hamilton has done it when he know it will hit TV. Max is learning.

It doesn't bother me. Just pointing out that it's nothing new.

I thought max had learned to back off early, as he knows he has the car. Guess he wanted to go full send for the sprint.

Senna didnt stick around long enough to become hated. He certainly would have been.
