Max Verstappen sarcastically expressed his lack of enthusiasm for the Sprint race format, stating that he doesn’t get excited about it and finds it less exciting than traditional qualifying. He believes that having just one qualifying session where drivers give their all would be sufficient. Verstappen also mentioned that the Sprint race diminishes the excitement of the main race, as it reveals the relative pace of the cars and removes the element of surprise. He emphasized that as a fan, he would be disappointed to already know the outcome of the main race before it even happens. Hamilton jokingly suggested that Verstappen was getting bored in the lead, but Verstappen clarified that it was more about the loss of the magic and unpredictability of race day.
