F1’s experimental sprint weekend format debuted at the British Grand Prix, with qualifying mov🐠ed to Friday and a 17-lap, flat-out sprint race on Saturday used to determine the grid for Sunday’s grand prix. 

Wolff thought the forma﷽t worked well and reckons it warrants a place on the calendar “in a limited form”, but used Sergio Perez as an example of how the “randomness” of the event can ruin weekends.🅷 

The Red Bull driver spun and eventually 𒆙retired from sprint qualifying, meaning he will start at the very back of the grid for Sunday’s British GP. 

“I think it's entertaining for the crowds on the track,” 🔯Wolff🍌 said. 

“A start i🍌s always interesting and good content. And obviously Alonso was fun to watch. So I think overall, it is a good add-on.

“I don't [want to] see🅺 it at every race. I think there's too much randomness. 

“If you see Checo spinning out and then retiring, last is not the place that Sergio Perez should be. It could really work against you if you're one of the front-runners. There's too mu꧒ch randomness.

“But I think if the next few ones go like this one, I think it has a place in the calend🍌ar in ♕a limited form.”

Having been fastest in qualifying, Lewis Hamilton finished second ahead of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas in the inaugural sprint event after Red Bull’s Max Verstapp♎en bolted into the lead at the start. 

Wolff added: “I'm no🐽t a fan of live experimenting. But this one is not hugely controversial. I am totally against rever𓆏se grids, it’s just fake.

"But here, everybody started from the right positions. I believe that qualifying was yesterday﷽ [Friday] and also qualifying should be called qualifying, and not the sprint race. But this is reallyღ a detail. 

“I believe ⭕that it was a bit dull towards the end, but until then I would say it has merit.

“I think if ꦉit is a kind of ‘Grand 🦩Slam' for a couple or a few races, I think that is good, because you provide some real entertainment on the Saturday.

"We are prime time TV Friday night, we are primetime TV Saturday night, aꦺnd obviously the grand prix.

“So I think we can tweak on the format a little b💝it. But fundamentally, I think if we do five races like 🦩this, I'm pro. Maybe four is the right amount, not five.”
