F1 introduced a revised sprint race format for this weekend’s Azerbaijan G🍸rand Prix with the addition of a second qualifying sess⛎ion.

The second qualifying session on Saturday morning determined the grid for🦋 the sprint meaning it’s entirely♋ separate from conventional qualifying (on Friday during a sprint weekend) and the main grand prix (on a Sunday).

Verstappen has been vocal in his criticism of the format, even before his frustrating race after an incident with Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

Speaking in the FIA press conference🐽 aft🎀er the sprint, Verstappen explained why he disliked having a second qualifying session during a race weekend.

"Just scrap the whole thing. I think it's just important to go back to what we hav🌞e. Make sure that every team can fight for a win. 

“That's what we have to aim for and not implement all these kind of artifi🐷cial excitement. I got bored in today's qualifying to be honest. 

“I like to have one qual🌊if🎃ying where you put everything in it. 

“That was yesterday, which of course I enjoy. Then they do i𓆏t again today and I'm like 'my god, another qualifying?' I just don't really enjoy that."

The Dutchman doesn’t think the format has any impact on improvingཧ the wheel-to-wheel racing.

“Yeah it’s hect🍃ic, I think it’s not proper racing, it’s more gambling, I’d have more success in Vegas if I go to the casino,” Verstappen added.

“I like racing, I’m a pure racer and I think this is more for the show. Of course it’s important to have entertainment but I think if all the cars are c𝔍lose enough you create better entertainment anyway rather than 🌜trying to do it like this.

“It feels like you have a football match, and one team is 3-0 up ൩and you just🐻 say ‘ah let’s just reset it to 0-0 and go again’.

“I find these things a bit unnecessary.”
