as the qualifying race for the GP race. Some of the drivers were
unhappy with the Sprint race concept and proposed a revision. Under
the old system, a driver had to drive as hard as they could and risk
their cars in qualifying for a good position in the Sprint race. They
then had to drive as hard as they could and risk their cars again to
get a good position for the GP. Especially for the midfield and back runners, the old system was fraught with risk, with limited or no
rewards.
Time will tell whether the revised Sprint race format will be
successful. The new format takes some of the pressure off the
midfield teams and back markers, the leading teams will probably press
as hard as they can to do well, in spite of the limited reward.

At least with the 'quali' aspect there was a point to it.
Now just a superfluous gimmick, albeit with some points awarded.
