"I think what we have at the moment isn't quite right for the drivers, the fans or the teams,” explained Horner. “I think there needs to be more to it.

“We have just won a sprint race, and nobody quite knows what to do because all the focus is already on the grand prix. It's like you've won a long run and got a medal for it"

Sorta fun when first introduced but now it’s just odd. Was it suppose to make the entire weekend more exciting besides just qual and the race?

Bigger revenue, something on friday (quali) something on saturday (sq and sprintrace) and the main event on sunday (race). Instead of friday fp1&2 (not very interesting) saturday fp3&quali (bigger revenue) and the race on sunday (biggest revenue).

So this format will stay if there isn't going to be a better format for the fans with, at least, the same amount of financial gains.
