This is the only type of sprinting we want to see at a race:

Single qualifying, reverse grid sprint, then I’m in. Most of the sprint sessions just feel like spoilers for the main race and quali

This was obvious from the first sprint race, right? It's all gonna be sprint races eventually

Sprint races are shit and only serve as a means to disrupt the car setup for a race. Why don’t they just soak some tracks in water because people prefer rain racing over sprints as they show more of the drivers ability which is what everyone wants to see.

Dull and duller. If they did something wasn’t a poor man’s version of the main event e..g. Duelling I might be interested.

I would be way more in to sprint races of they made it a separate championship, and perhaps enforced a rule for participation by rookies only or allowed different rules and setups for the cars so it wasn't just a "diet grand prix"
