World champion Max Verstappen says he's still"not a fan at all" of Formula 1 sprint races even with the format changes discussed for Baku.From Baku onwards, the first of six sprints this year, teams have discussed a format change in which the sprint event and the grand prix each have their own qualifying sessions.
"I'm not a fan of it at all," he said in Melbourne."I think when we're going to do all that kind of stuff, the weekend becomes even more intense and we're already doing so many races. "Because we're heading into seasons where you have at one point 24, 25 races - because that's where we're going to head into - and if we then start adding even more stuff, it's not worth it for me anyway. I'm not enjoying that."Motorsport Images
"Even if you change the format, I don't find it's the DNA of Formula 1 to do these kinds of sprint races. F1 is about getting the most out of it in qualifying and then having an amazing Sunday, good long race distances.
