    I enjoyed sprint weekends this year and I’m excited to see what they will do this year to change them up. I might be in the minority on this but I did like how it changed the weekend up from the typical format. Hopefully the change they will implement adds to the excitement of sprint weekends.

      I disliked how it effectively took over the whole weekend. With 4 sessions to watch you can’t really do anything else significant that weekend.

      I ended up just skipping Saturdays completely, probably not what they were aiming for…

      I still think it diminishes the surprise of how the positions will shake out but removing their influence on the GP made them more enjoyable

      Think the biggest issue with sprint for me was the parc ferme happening after one practice session. I think they should try letting teams change the setup based on data gathered in the sprint

        Yea I fully agree. There were times when setup was the clear problem for a sprint and it could have been fixed for the GP, which would have shaken things up.

          They have changed the order of sprint weekend for 2024. No confirmation on if they will move parc ferme but seems more doable now with the main quali taking place after the sprint race
