I just want FIA to do something sensible. "Sprint at Monaco" sounds like a troll-level shitpost. Hell after watching Max 1 vs 100 I'd take a Monaco Go-Kart special race. Anything but a damn sprint.
@CaptDust @mamg22 That's it. Have them run go-karts, do qualifying , and then line them up in quali order behind 100 randos.
Honestly, I get and kinda like the concept of sprint weekends as an occasional shakeup to the regular format, but the way its currently done is absolutely not it. Its a mini grand Prix without the excitement, however if they can figure out an alternative format that keeps it exciting and make it worth for the drivers, I think they can find great success in that.
If there was something else spicing up the sprint, it could be worthwhile to watch. Having tires with very high degradation could be an idea, pit stops aren't obligatory but for sure you'd want one
