sprint still gets a lot of criticism so here are my absolutly serious & not at all silly ideas on how to make sprint races more exciting:

  • they actually sprint instead of drive. a great way to see which driver actually can perform without a good car or a car at all.
  • before the sprint each driver draws the name of another out of a hat & races in their car & with their team. whoever gets the red bull would probably just put it in the wall to prevent them from racing on a sunday though. also hard to decide how to give points to drivers & constructors. would be funny to see max in a stake or logan in a ferrari.
  • reverse grid order but instead of doing a sprint quali they just use the results of the previous sprint race. the order just gets more chaotic each sprint. would need one sprint quali for the first sprint but after that they‘d just get two free practices
  • everyone gets a nerf gun & is allowed to shot at people in their way instead of using drs. very dangerous so wouldn‘t really recommend
  • no radio allowed, they have to go purely on vibes
  • driving the other way around the grid than in the race. right hand corners become left & vice versa. new challenges & everyone gets a little confused
  • they have to spin a wheel before the race that chooses which tyres they go on. bonus if this includes intermediate & wets
  • no race, just auto scooter like at a fair. last one with all wheels wins
  • they make the sprint a spec series. every team has a second set of cars. if they break in the sprint no consequences for the race. everyone would be closer together. would have to be taken out of the cost cap
  • putting snow canons on the track & blades like on a snowmobile or maybe snow chains on the cars & race in the snow. (or maybe just let them slide around on slicks). how is that for changeable conditions. time to stop pretending even one person in that sports cares about the climate. or get nico rosberg to make the snow ecological.
  • f1 relay race, every team only runs one car but they have to stop at least once (maybe more, would be funnier m) & switch the driver out. fuck the teams that have very differently sized drivers we don‘t adjust seats.
  • the don‘t drink & drive mario kart drinking game. they get a drink of their choice & have to finish it but are not allowed to drink while driving, so they have to pull over & stop to take a sip. first one who finishes the drink & the race distance wins. funnier if they actually use alcoholic drinks (dangerous & unrealistic, but maybe a lil funny)
  • they all started in karting, so make sprints a car race, put them in the tiny cars & away we go
