New idea, no sprint at Monaco. Make it a Lap Attack. All the drivers get to go around by themselves and fastest lap time wins.

No no, I'm not advocating for three qualifying sessions - it's a lap attack!

    Could be a fun idea ngl, you'd get amazing push laps like that one Jeddah qualy lap Max crashed in sector 3. Every driver essentially playing trackmania with F1 cars lol

    I just want FIA to do something sensible. "Sprint at Monaco" sounds like a troll-level shitpost. Hell after watching Max 1 vs 100 I'd take a Monaco Go-Kart special race. Anything but a damn sprint.

    Honestly, I get and kinda like the concept of sprint weekends as an occasional shakeup to the regular format, but the way its currently done is absolutely not it. Its a mini grand Prix without the excitement, however if they can figure out an alternative format that keeps it exciting and make it worth for the drivers, I think they can find great success in that.

    If there was something else spicing up the sprint, it could be worthwhile to watch. Having tires with very high degradation could be an idea, pit stops aren't obligatory but for sure you'd want one
