Miami GP boss says fans "more open" to F1 sprint format
Tyler Epp, who previously worked with Chip Ganassi Racing in American motorsports, says evolving the event was key in the decision to introduce sprint races in Miami and China in 2024. Epp credits F1 for being open to the discussion and praises Katharina Nowak for brokering the deal. The goal is to differentiate the race and provide another way for fans to experience F1. While ticket sales weren’t boosted by sprint races in the United States Grand Prix, Epp is unconcerned as Miami has a different value proposition. The focus is on providing the best experience for all attendees. As teams are set to vote on a revamp of the sprint format, qualifying may move back to Saturday.
