Well i can’t say this was in any way a ‘sprint’ or for that matter exciting. The cars drove to preserve their tires, then got caught up in DRS trains which was frankly boring to watch.
To be fair to Haas They did this as a team tactic to keep Hamilton from nicking both points off them. Minos keeping the sharks behind.
I wonder what the criteria is for selecting tracks for these ‘sprints’? How much more you can fleece out of the public truning up for these sprints? On that basis, I don’t suppose those tracks where a full house is assured would have a need for these silly stunt races.

Yes, an exciting sprint race that really shook up the starting grid order. Ross must be so pleased.
