Sprint race for points only now... is essentially F1 being like a tool-bag who doubles down on social media after being proven wrong or inappropriate. Top driver and anyone in the bottom of the top 10 are just clocking in and trying not to accrue damage costs. P2,3,4, & P11, 12, 13... those guys will likely plan to race the sprint hard.
It will now merely serve to dilute the "specialness" of Sunday. Why they can't see that boggles my mind. ... but, but... it's another measurable metric for a "top-tier-viewer-engagement" broadcast hour... which presumably gets F1, and teams... more $$ from sponsors. ... which, presumably, is supposed to grow the value of the singular commodity for Liberty Media.
It's just not worth the time out of my life to watch it. Sprint races are a "why bother" for me. I could not care less about sprints before this change. F1, call me when Sunday gets here.
