Once again, somebody tell me why we don't like Sprint Quali? Everything that was actually exciting and part of the unknown about this race was triggered by the results of the Sprint. Wasn't the point of the Sprint to also create more excitement on Saturday? |

We need it to be done on tracks where more than just the top Teams can pass others though, I know Perez passed half the pack but the tv didn't show many/any other passes. |

They should put a light on each car controlled by the FIA/stewards. When it is green then passing is permitted. When it is red no passing is permitted. Simple. That's just moving discretion from the driver to the rule makers, in the Silverstone clash Lulu would have had a green light right up to the point he knocked Max's wheel off. I may have worked in the Monza crash but the passing driver (max) will swear up and down that light was green even with 4 wheels of the ground. |

Sir Isaac Newton had this fiasco covered in 1687 when he published his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. The laws of motion. Specifically the 3rd law. The third law states that when one object exerts a force on a second object, that second object exerts a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first object. Or in layman's terms for every action there's a equal and opposite reaction. Haven't we been tortured enough with the math and geography?  |

Oh, and the fanbois are also up in arms over Max not stopping to check on Lewis as he walked by. Never mind that Lewis was frantically spinning his wheels repeatedly trying to get unbeached, and never mind that we could all see clearly even on TV that Lewis was moving around fine in the cockpit. Surely Max could see him a lot better than we could at home, walking just a few feet away, no? And never mind that Lewis continued trying to drive the car out as Max walked past. Was Max supposed to walk up to the car Lewis was trying to remove from the gravel? What a bunch of idiotic drama queens. And now there's a guy telling me that there's no possible way Lewis could have moved toward Max in a righthander while his wheel was turned to the right. What in the actual fuck? You can't make up this kind of desperation & stupidity. On Pardon My Take today, DR said that if Lewis was actually injured that Max would have checked on him, but Lewis was clearly trying to reverse his car or whatever - hence Max walking off. |

They should put a light on each Lewis' car controlled by the FIA/stewards. When it is green then passing is permitted. When it is red no passing is permitted. Simple.  |

The rule makers have taken the discretion. The light would just make it official. I mean how do they just throw away the rule about giving room? They did that just to spite us. It is an official rule but it doesn't matter because what they wanted to do was to penalize Verstappen. |

Lewis is Red/Green color blind. Canada 2008. Didn't see the red light. |

I guess your Saturdays aren't very exciting. Seems like your Saturdays are the less exciting ones. How much more do you need from the Sprint to be excited? |

The sprint race gave us this 1, lulu had a bad start and dropped back a few places and never caught up 2, the papaya orange cars got the jump on poor lulu and they started the race in front of lulu 3, because of saturday, Danny started 2nd, got the jump on Max and went on to win the race. chances of Danny winning on sunday without the saturday sprint thing were prolly close to zero. |

Close enough for me. |

Danny got second because of Bottas' engine change not because he finished second. Otherwise? There's a strong case to be made that the McLaren's were the fastest cars all weekend. Lulu and Max had their moment because of bad pit stops and not anything to do with the sprint race results. At that point DR was already long gone and uncatchable. About all the Sprint proved was that passing was unlikely to happen at Monza and that ain't exciting. Other than Lulu dropping 3 spots there were essentially no other significant changes from quali. You all are equating the finish on Sunday with good racing on Sat. Sat by itself was not good racing or entertainment by any measure. |

I'm still "meh" on the whole thing because as far as i'm concerned this years sprints are dry runs for next year when the cars are supposed to be able to pass each other. Monza's had more meaning to the race outcome than Britain but nothing more than a good set of sprinklers would have.  |
