What do you think of Sprint Races?<\/p>\n
There has long been debate about the decision to introduce Sprint Races.<\/p>\n
Initially it served to arrange the grid for Sunday’s main race with a few bonus points for the best performers, but it has since evolved into its own little side-quest for F1.<\/p>\n
True, the points on offer are fairly limited given the amount of effort (qualifying and racing) that goes into it, more so considering it has zero impact on Sunday’s race anymore.<\/p>\n
For the most part drivers have taken it fairly easy through fear of damaging their cars, but as this Sprint showed, sometimes it can’t be helped.<\/p>\n
Nineteen laps seemed to go very quickly, but it’s a welcome filler over a race weekend – it’s a shame that it’s only at six events in the year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What do you think of Sprint Races?
