f1 sprint us gp 2024 out of context

The stupid thing about the whole Sprint Race saga is that F1 has 3 feeder series, and if they invested money and time into boosting interest for them, they have a ready made solution to increasing interest on a Saturday without increasing the pressure on the teams and drivers each sprint weekend.

For the Sprint races this season pls can they just be actual sprints like running races bc I would kill to see the actual hilarious carnage that would ensue once the lights go out and all 20 drivers are just legging it full pelt down the track 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

As a medical student Ollie's head during these races stresses me out now knowing in full detail about your neck and how your head sits on your neck.

I can't be the only person

As a Carlos Sainz girl I'm actually celebrating this podium. Plus, the Piastri - Tsunoda fight was pretty interesting tbh.

Congrats to max on the wdc but the fact that Oscar has got his first win in F1 (despite being a Sprint) and it’s being toned down for the wdc is sad

I JUST WENT TO A CONCERT AND JUST GOT HOME I OPENED MY IG ACC TO SEE LANDO IS ON SPRINT POLE POSITION?????

CARLOS SAINZ YOU ARE INSANE WHAT WAS THAT IN THE LAST LAP MY SMOOTH OPERATORRRRRR

god well that was a chaotic sprint race. 3 safety cars; hulk, checo, sargent, lawson and ocon dnf; alex from p17 to p8 for a point (this is before charles track limit investigations are finalised); lewis from p12 to p3; max 3rd wdc; oscar first race win.

like oh boy checo is going to be sweating after that. this is not what he wanted nor what he needed. poor oscar tho with his first win being overshadowed by the wdc.

ALSO NICO ROSBERG I WANT TO STUDY YOUR BRAIN STRUCTURE. playing the mind games even while retired, saying to lando about how the car is obviously race winning. I'd say go to therapy but please don't, the trauma is entertaining (poor lando tho lmfao)

well done to oscar, max and alex tho <3 now im going to go back to watching the specimen that is nico rosberg

New F1 Sprint procedure and regulations

The sprint format changes again in 2024. This time the qualifying on friday will be the sprint shootout, so it will determine the grid positions for the sprint race. That sprint race then will be held on saturday morning, while the qualy for the main race keeps it's spot from the standard weekends, on saturday afternoon. Also there will be two parc fermes during sprint weekends. One from the sprint shootout on friday until the end of the sprint race on saturday morning. Afterwards, the teams are allowed to work on their cars and change some setup things. Then there will be the second parc ferme from the beginning of th qualy on saturday until the end of the main race on sunday.

Overview of a sprint weekend

Friday:

(morning) Free Practice

(afternoon) Sprint shootout (start of parc ferme 1)

Saturday:

(morning) Sprint race (End of sprint race = End of parc ferme 1)

(afternoon) Qualy (start of parc ferme 2)

Sunday:

(afternoon) Main race

Also the teams are allowed to use 4 engines instead of 3 this season, to compensate the additional load of the sprint races. And the F1 is discussing to allow the teams to assemble a third chassis more completely than in the previous years, to make it possible for a driver to take part in the main qualy if they get involved in a big crash during the sprint race.
