MODERATORS
Not long time (started in 2018) but that’s also been 5 years now.
I personally don’t like it. Quali happens while I’m at work or so incredibly early in the morning that it’s unwatchable (hooray being on the west coast), which means I get spoiled a lot of the time before watching.
Saturday also loses all meaning and spoils the fun of Sunday since we get to see the most interesting part (the first few laps) and then it’s just a rehash on day 2. The sprint is too short for any strategy, and the only reason the last sprint was so good was the weather.
I’m also a doomer, so that doesn’t help either. I don’t think it’s good for the sport and will lead to fatigue. I watch (almost) every race live, even if it’s at 4am, but there’s not a chance I do that for sprints.
