Thanks mate
Sergio spins and is off, gets back on the track
Perez in trouble
Shouldn't haave complained about 8th
Wow, big spin for Perez. So close to the wall.
Lando is bloody brilliant.
Not working for me this, I would rather see a normal qualifying.
First couple of laps were OK .

Leave George alone ffs. Driving that Williams is enough punishment for murder
This either thread to be canned or reduced to about 5 laps
Yes it's become a bit of a drag..... I didn't realise at first when they said 'sprint' race that it would be 17 laps. Think that defeats the whole thinking behind it. Shorter and it would be more exciting, or just stick with the regular qualifying session.
10% of the actual race length and I think it would be ok, this format.
Don't mind it to be honest. Maybe it could be shorter but there's been plenty of shit Saturdays in recent years, don't mind a bit of variety
Does the fastest lap matter in this session in terms of points? 
Pretty much my view as well. Definitely worth a try.
I have no problem with the Saturdays . It's some of the 'Sunday's that can be shit, depending on the track as well.
I've already switched off. What a crap idea this was.
Still can't stop admiring that Aston martin.
Race is just going to be Max miles in front with Lewis on the radio saying he cant catch him.
Not in this no , but in the race , its an extra point if you finish in the top 10Does the fastest lap matter in this session in terms of points?
Must be educational for Lewis to realise that when a quality opponent has a better car, there is virtually nothing you can do.
Fair point by commentators, it should give the teams an idea on the tyre strategy for tomorrow, this sort of sprint.
Okay. I thought it mattered here as well since they referenced this.
Lord the snide in this...
At least posters are admitting that Red Bull are faster...Lord the snide in this...
This doesn’t work for me, seems utterly pointless.
Yea this is a bit crap imo. Don’t fix something that isn’t broken.
Silly post.
Same. Real waste of time.
They can do that without acting like Lewis has no talent
I like this format, just make it shorter though.
Ok that was anticlimactic. At least they've tried something new but way too long for me.
For all his skills, Hamilton is crap at starts. Vettell used to kick his arse and Verstappan is now. I just hope to god that new regulations allow racing rather than who gets in front at start wins.
Easy 30 second win for Max tomorrow, I just wish Red Bull number 2 could actually compete. Dislike 1 man team that Ref Bull always prefer.

What a colossal waste of time that sprint rubbish is. Want a sprint race to be interesting? Wait for next years rule changes and implement a reverse grid based on championship standings.
Lewis screwed the start, if he doesnt beat max tomorrow then the season in regards to the championship is done.

Do they start on the same tires tomorrow?
Baby steps.
Believe they have free choice of tyres again. So I'm guessing mediums for everyone even though the soft held up better than expected.
Yeah, it's more interesting, a lot of it depends on the start of course, hence why a shorter format could work. Top 3 will fight it out for sure, because the points matter and the rest would try low risk overtaking moves. If they manage the race distance well enough, it might even be a case where some might go on mediums and others on softs.
We are getting the typical qualifying format (Q1, Q2, Q3) anyway, just that, it's a day sooner.
The feck is this bus now
