Recently, Stefano Domenucali explained that F1 should try to make its tests more interesting, even if it means giving points from EL2. Formula 1 CEO Valtteri Bottas
« I don’t think we need sprints every weekend, just less practice and more action » note Bottas. “Currently, if I had to choose Sprint or not Sprint, I would say Sprint because we are immediately in action on Fridays.
The Alfa Romeo F1 driver thinks it would be possible to remove a free practice session, recalling that that of Saturday morning during Sprint weekends is not the most useful.
« We haven’t really discussed it, but it’s true. There’s still a chance to learn with the long stints, but you can’t change the settings anymore, so we could have a two-day weekend. with tests, qualifications, race. »
« I’m sure there’s a reason why it’s a three-day weekend. But I don’t know, we could practice on Friday evening and then be straight into action on Saturday morning. »
