  • Sprint races not certain for 2022

    From Mark Jackson@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 18 21:46:17 2022
    A dispute between the rich and poor teams over how the FIA should
    address the possible extra expense of running sprint races under the
    spending cap threatens the sprint race plan for 2022:

    Bad news, or good, depending on how one feels about sprint races.

    This is a no brainer if the lesser teams cannot afford it.

    If you have to ask "how much" you can't afford it.

    What's the spending cap for 2022 and how many teams don't even have that much?

    and how many teams don't even have that much?

    I would guess about half.

    So, sprint, then invert the field for the race.

    Easy button.

    If F1 is as popular as F1 claims why can't they find more sponsor money?

    "Ahead of the February 14 meeting of the F1 Commission, Liberty has put
    forward a compromise package that will cut back on the idea of having
    six sprints and instead mean there will be maximum of three."

    This still would require at least one of the rich teams (Mercedes, Red
    Bull, Ferrari) to sign on. Article (paywalled) here:

    One solution would be to distribute at least some of the TV money equally as some other sports do. The current points system just makes Merc and Red Bull richer.

    Spread the money around evenly.
    Sprint finishers inverse grid to start the race.

    Moah spectacle!
