Changes to the F1 Sprint format are on the agenda, including the potential to include reverse grid races – a prospect that Hamilton is in favour of.
Lewis Hamilton has expressed his support for the implementation of reverse grid races in Formula 1 during sprint weekends. The possibility of reverse grids is currently being discussed, along with other potential format changes. Hamilton praised F1 for introducing the Sprint format in 2021, stating that he enjoys the different format compared to the traditional practice sessions, qualifying, and race. While teammate George Russell believes a reversed grid format would not work, Hamilton revealed that he had a great experience starting from last position in a sprint race in Brazil 2021. However, he suggested that the sprint races could be slightly longer than the current 19 laps.
