2023 - Race 4 Azerbaijan

[Bagwan]

The sprint format has been put out.

Friday will be qualifying for the race on Sunday
Modified (shorter) qualifying rounds on Saturday for the sprint race.
Sprint Race on Saturday - 17 laps. 8 points for the winner, 1 point for 8th
Sprint race does not effect the Sunday race.

So , yeah good idea they've got there .
Why not add a qualifying session ?
And why not make it shorter , so as to make the drivers even more under pressure to get a fast time for the sprint grid ?

Why not do it instead of practice sessions , so they have less time to get the cars set to the driver's preferences ?

And , why not do it the same day , so the drivers must deal with different conditions in the afternoon sun ?


And , last but not least , why not put the first test of the new format in a tight , walled track like Baku ?
