Friday has one free practice followed by a sprint qualifying 'shootout'.

The 100km race will then be held on Saturday morning before qualifying for the main Sunday grand prix.

I'll trade sprint races for an Andretti team, can we do that?

Best I can do is TWO Andretti teams.

So having only one free practice before parc ferme no longer allowing for setup changes isn't addressed at all with this change, right?

Yay, I can ignore the Friday sessions again.

I thought the reason they didn't do this before is that if you have a bad crash during the sprint you're then fucked for qualifying, right?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes but apparently they now think that has to be taken as a risk in order to change the format

I wonder if this will cause much less risk-taking in the sprint, or if they'll change it back after an incident in the sprint ruins someone's whole weekend

It's a good question. Though people already previously thought that drivers would take no risks in sprint, and that turned out to be false
