Mostly because they have been so inconsistent before with the track limits where only some turn will have them and all others not. Sometimes they change them mid-race. I'd say all turns or none.
I don't understand haas, sometime they look very good at qualifying but rarely they materialise in the race. Hope they will one day be as good at race as they are at qualifying.
It's a shorter qualifying session for the sprint race later today. I think that's the main difference, there's also suppose to be some tire restrictions but they ditched that today because of the wet conditions.
The sprint is a new standalone race, on it some weekends this year. Qualifying for the race was yesterday, everything today is sprint. The shootout is open to everyone, it's qualifying for the sprint race later, which is 20 laps or 60 mins. Top eight I think? get extra points

Still not a fan of this weekend structure as this will probably just be like qualifying yesterday anyways

Sprints just dont work in F1. In MotoGP the sprint is already for me the better product. But cars are just not made for sprint racing
ArtVandelay12@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
Agreed. I had an open mind for the sprint format but I'm just not liking it so far
zav@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
They should replace it with something similar to how qualifying works in Formula E or a One-Lap shootout
iTipTurtles@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Yeah not a fan either. I think it’s a little better than last seasons sprint setup, but still fairly dogshit
Fingerthief@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Already quite different.

Hamilton P18 after getting his best lap time deleted...
BowserDelta@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
Gutting but really happy they're being so on it with track limits this weekend (saying this as a devout fan of Lewis)
Zinc@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
Not a big fan of track limits, but at least they are quick and seemingly consistent with the deletions.
Thewheeeeeeeeeel@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Why? These should be the best drivers in the world. Its their job to keep the cars on the track

With the track drying up, timing the last lap (and stay inside track limits) will be extremely important.

Both Haas in SQ3

They just suck at tire management
baggyspandex@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Absolutely unacceptable from Ferrari already. If I wasn’t so trained by the pain I’d punch a wall.
Thewheeeeeeeeeel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
They are through to SQ2...Still time to punch more holes
baggyspandex@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
It’s takes a lot for me to get that mad with Ferrari nowadays. It’s too expected.
zav@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
More surprised by them getting something right than them fucking something up
quinten@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Big Mercedes F

An Russell doesn't set a time in Q2. Awful qualy for Mercedes
TheYang@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
Sorry, what is a "Sprint Shootout"?
Did I miss that in previous races or is this (one of) the first time this event is held?
Will only a subset of drivers get to attend the sprint race? But if so, couldn't the qualifying results be used for that?

It's a shorter qualifying session for the sprint race later today. I think that's the main difference, there's also suppose to be some tire restrictions but they ditched that today because of the wet conditions.
Zinc@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Qualifying to the sprint race later today. It's something new for this year. I think this is the second race week to feature this kind of qualifying.

The weekend structure being tested this weekend looks like this:
Friday: Normal Qualifying for sunday's race Saturday morning: Sprint Shootout (Quali for Sprint) Saturday afternoon: Sprint (mini-race) Sunday: Race
So its basically a mini quali+race on saturday which... idk

I was able to turn now, how is Ferrari going?
GiovaMC@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
When will they begin shooting each other? Just here for the shootout
in_potentia@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
What will happen tomorrow if drivers repeatedly exceed limits? Penalties all round?
Thewheeeeeeeeeel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Yes? But since they arent pushing as much there will be way less penalties
in_potentia@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
That true, could still be interesting
R05@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I really don’t care about the sprint format. It doesn’t add anything and just seems forced
yellowmnkey@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
It was a good qualy or shootout whatever it’s named
regal@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I agree, I think the shorter sessions make it a lot more interesting

Sprint race finishing order having an impact on main race makes it worthwhile.
Sprint race as it stands is just pointless.

What happened with that Haas in the box? Did it run something over?
Thewheeeeeeeeeel@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
It ran over its own old rear tire
baggyspandex@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

WTF is going on!? Can't we just have the sprint instead of whatever this is...
Thewheeeeeeeeeel@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
Its the quali for the sprint? The sprint is happening later
luffyuk@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Ah okay, I thought it was fine when the actual qualifying determined sprint starting order.
Thewheeeeeeeeeel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Yes it works in MotoGP...But the system F1 had before was worse than what its now.
Fingerthief@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
People got annoyed when the sprint race impacted the actual race so they changed it.
Now Friday qualification is for Sunday’s grid. Saturday quali is for the Sprint grid.
Personally I enjoy seeing two qualifying sessions with cars on the limit instead of practices.
