Verstappen gets “no satisfaction” from F1 sprint wins
The sprint format has been a part of F1 since 2021, but it hasn’t fully delivered on its promise of exciting action. F1 officials are considering various format tweaks, such as reverse grids and separate sprint championships, to make sprints more appealing. However, Red Bull driver Max Verstappen is not convinced of the value of sprints and is one of the strongest opponents of the format. He believes that if the cars are competitive and have good racing, there is no need for a sprint format. The current sprint format led to disqualifications in Austin due to excessive floor plank wear, which could have been avoided in a normal race weekend. Verstappen suggests getting rid of the sprint weekend and allowing teams to set up their cars normally.
