i quite like them but, as you said, only in the right tracks. sometimes they can just turn into parade laps on tracks that don’t allow for much overtaking, but i generally find them entertaining and they make the race weekend a bit longer, which is a bonus!How do we feel about more sprint races? Personally I enjoy them if they are at the right tracks.

i don’t think i fully appreciated how spoilt we were last year! it’s so rare for it to come right down to the final race like that (or has been more rare in recent years, i think nico was the last?I'm kinda sad the championship could be decided this weekend, I really enjoyed it going down to the last race (apart from the shit show of an ending that is).
I'm the same, I was so excited but then the ending completely over shadowed it, only now I'm realised how great it was. As for sprint races, I'm on the fence, along with more races, I'm glad but then again it just takes up too much time watching it. Especially with me being into football too and a season ticket holder for the team I support. Its going to be harder for me to watch the races livei quite like them but, as you said, only in the right tracks. sometimes they can just turn into parade laps on tracks that don’t allow for much overtaking, but i generally find them entertaining and they make the race weekend a bit longer, which is a bonus!

Good point about the engines. I hadn't considered that.I like them.
But they need to have a rethink of the engine allocation 4 engines for what will basically be 27 races full races is definitely not enough
this is an amazing point!I like them.

Yeah i don't think the penalties should be lessened the more you take.this is an amazing point!
i feel like they also need to sort out the penalties and how they’re allocated for new engines etc. having half the grid take them in the same week so all the best drivers just work their way through the pack like the other week isn’t a penalty. i don’t know what they can do about it though
That would be worse, just making it even more complicated to understand.The penalty system is frustrating but at the same time I can’t think how they can do it differently
Feels unfair for drivers and their championship if they essentially lose out on points twice if they dnf due to a mechanical issue and then take a grid drop the next race.
Also feels unfair when half the pack take penalties and a back of the grid isn’t soUnless they had some sort of system where if you take a back of grid penalty then end up being 15th or something due to others also taking them the additional places are deducted from the next race?
Can’t they just scrap them entirely? I mean we have a budget cap in place.That would be worse, just making it even more complicated to understand.
i think the system they have now is as close to fair as it can be - i just wish that they would put some limit on how many drivers can take a penalty in the same race. when you have lewis, carlos, max etc all taking penalties in the same weekend it makes the whole thing pointless. they should limit it to two (maybe the first two who confirm?) and then stagger it. though i’m aware that also makes it complicatedThe penalty system is frustrating but at the same time I can’t think how they can do it differently

I remember Crofty and Brundle talking about it and suggesting it should maybe be a reduction in points for the teams rather than drivers losing places.The penalty system is frustrating but at the same time I can’t think how they can do it differently

I'm hoping if he gets in the car and doesn't feel OK that he will actually sit out rather than pushing through it.alex is confirmed to race in singapore!
i don’t know how i feel about it - he’s obviously been checked and is feeling okay, but it’s such a hard going race, i would have felt better about him taking another week and giving nyck another chance. hope he goes okay though
