    Okay, here’s a crackpot idea I’ve been thinking about.

    Quali for the sprint on Friday.

    Practice Saturday AM Sprint Saturday afternoon, but it’s not a race. Your quali sets your order to go out for 1 lap qualifying (fastest goes last) which sets Sunday’s grid Sunday GP

    It’s rooted in my opinion that the only good part of the sprint is the extra quali session, which has been pretty exciting and turns into a 1 lap session in SQ3 anyway. It isn’t 2 races, but it’s action all 3 days

      My issue with one lap qualifying with the fastest going last would be that during a quali like we’ve had this weekend, if you go last, you’re screwed because suddenly the track is wet or you even get a red flag. Imo it’s much more entertaining when everyone tries to poker with when they do their laps.

        That’s fair. I’m really reaching here to find something to do with the sprint format that is interesting
