    Hit a nerve I guess. I’m not arguing for Sunday to be spec cars and I enjoy the engineering of the cars and all those aspects of F1. I think you could make the argument though that if these are supposed to be some of the best drivers in Motorsport, how would they stack up in the same car? Is Max still number one if he and Lewis are in the same car!? The story for sprint races changes, and it could potentially be more interesting to watch.

    I agree that some suggestions are terrible. Reverse grid is silly in most Motorsports.

    Also, I watch a lot of motorsports, US and international. I’m just a fan of fast cars going around tracks, no matter what. All of them have something different to offer, and I appreciate that. I just think the sprint races, in their current implementation, is a poor way to get more eyes on a race weekend.

      Every time someone suggests spec cars in F1 all I hear is IndyCar Europe and I totally hate it. Enzo Ferrari must be turning in his grave.

        I mean, Indycar has some good racing! Also, isn’t F2 and F3 a spec series too?

        My real point is it would be interesting to see these drivers in the same car try and beat each other. Sprint races seem like a good place for that, but I could be wrong.
