Formula One's new standalone sprint format had its fans on Saturday but Red Bull's double world champion Max Verstappen was not among them.
"Just scrap the whole thing," he said after finishing third in the 100km race, the first of six scheduled for 2023's record 23-round season.
Saturday was the first time Formula One had run sprint qualifying and race on the same day with no connection to Sunday's main grand prix. He compared having two races one after the other to a soccer game where "it's 3-0 up for one team and then suddenly you just say ‘oh let's reset it to 0-0 and go again’."
