'It's too much of a lottery which has far-reaching consequences.'
Martin Brundle has questioned whether the “jeopardy” of the Sprint format is worth it after four cars started from the pit lane and urged for changes to made ahead of the F1 2024 season.
With just one practice hour on the Friday before qualifying, after which the cars are all under parc ferme conditions and no set-up changes can be made, Aston Martin and Haas pulled their cars off the Grand Prix grid in order to change the set-ups having not got it right in FP1. He wrote in his post-United States GP column for Sky Sports: “There’s no doubt that the Sprint format events put the teams under a lot of pressure and overall, we don’t get particularly positive feedback from them.
“And there’s the first question: do we want the jeopardy and variability of some teams missing their ultimate pace, or is this wasting the resource and skills of teams and drivers in a ‘not very F1’ manner?“We had 20 percent of the field starting the main Sunday race from the pit lane, in the form of both Aston Martins and both Haas cars, because they were better breaking out of parc ferme and trying for a more competitive race set-up.
The nine-time F1 podium finisher added: “Max has a fair point that the Sprint gives you half the story for race day and takes away some anticipation. I’d still much rather watch a Sprint than a free practice session personally.
