Carlos Sainz is open to F1 experimenting during Sprint race weekends to try and create better action on-track.
Carlos Sainz is in favor of F1 making significant changes to Sprint weekends to inject excitement into the shorter races following a series of lackluster events. One key criticism of Sprint races is that they often mimic the initial stint of the main race due to drivers using medium tires, rarely using soft tires in the main race’s opening leg. Sainz suggests using the softest rubber for Sprint races and being open to further experimentation, including the possibility of reversed grids. He believes a format change is necessary to enhance Sprints and suggests ensuring all drivers use soft tires for the Sprint race as a simple yet effective solution. Sainz emphasizes the need for a more engaging and dynamic Sprint format, advocating for continuous experimentation and flexibility to refine the format based on what works best for the sport.
