Talk of using a reverse grid in 2027 which all the drivers hate.


I can't wrap my head around reverse grid in a competitive league like F1 where winning is the only thing that matters. Doesn't that just encourage drivers to see who can dick around the most in qualifying to qualify last? What am I missing?

Right now, there are separate qualy sessions for the sprint and main race. If they use reverse grids for the sprint, they would change it so that there is only one qualy session that sets the grid for both the sprint and main race. Therefore, the fast cars are motivated to qualify the best they can for the main race. However, if, from the practice times you think you will be struggling to get a point or two in the main race, I think you might calculate that it's better to aim for 8 pts in the sprint by qualifying last, than to aim for one or two points in the main race by qualifying P10-P12.

All right, the predictions for the Azerbaijan GP are now locked. Only seven people updated their predictions! Maybe some late-season game fatigue. Also it may not make much difference, Azerbaijan features a long-arse straight that maybe favors a low-downforce setup like Monza, so maybe no update was necessary. You can review the predictions here:

Wind, rain, and walls yet somehow Max is still on top. His control and precision is amazing to watch.
