The race is not always the greatest, but it does create a little more option. We’ve had the same Thursday to Sunday for God-knows how long. “I like the format, because it’s just different. “You can look at the season and see where all the overtakes are and you can put the sprint races in those places. “I think we have to be very selective of where we have the sprint races,” Hamilton said. He believes Formula 1 must only look to hold sprint weekends at circuits that are proven to offer many overtaking opportunities. Last year Lewis Hamilton started from the back of the grid in last year’s sprint race and rose to finish fifth. The Sao Paulo circuit will become the first venue to have held more than one sprint race. Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher were among those who indicated they were more excited by the Interlagos track than the sprint format. Sometimes I don’t like change, but I also don’t mind at the same time.” Just because I’ve grown up watching that and being part of it. I love the build-up of pressure of having qualifying and one race – nothing coming in between, that’s just the structure of it. “Growing up always just having qualifying and then the race, that’s always what I’ve known Formula 1 to be,” said Norris. McLaren’s Lando Norris agrees with the Red Bull driver, explaining that he remains a fan of the traditional race weekend format.
And that’s not what the race should be about.”Īdvert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free

I don’t understand what the problem is with that, because I think we’ve had so many exciting races, so you don’t need to add one-third of the race distance. “I think we should just stick to one race. “All the time when I do these races, it’s about, ‘oh, let’s not have damage, just make sure that you stay in the top three’,” Verstappen explained.

Verstappen says drivers are incentivised to race carefully in sprint races, as the reward of gaining a place in the sprint may not be worth the risk of a collision or mistake and falling heavily down the grid for the grand prix as a result. I just don’t like that there’s no feeling with it. I don’t mind the one practice and going straight into qualifying – I think it probably is even better for me. “For me, the weekend format I don’t really enjoy. World champion Verstappen, who has won three of the five sprint races held across 20, says that despite the format suiting him, he is still not a fan of sprints. The 2023 F1 calendar will feature six sprint rounds, though the venues are yet to be confirmed. The sprint race in Brazil will be the sixth time Formula 1 has used the format since introducing it at the British Grand Prix last year. Traditional qualifying will be held on Friday afternoon after a single practice session, before a 100-kilometre race on Saturday which will set the grid for Sunday’s grand prix. This weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix is the third and final sprint weekend of the year.
