F1 introduced a revised sprint race format for this weekend’s Azerba꧂ijan Grand Prix with the addition of a second qualifying session.

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 after the sprint, Verstappen explained why he dislikeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd having a second qualifying session duꦑring a race weekend.

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

“That's what we ha🦂ve to aim for and not implement all these kind of artificial excitement. I got bored in today's qualifying to be honest. 

“I like 🌳ไto have one qualifying where you put everything in it. 

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

T🧸he Dutchman doesn’t think the format has any impact on improving the wheel-to-wheel racing.

“Yeah it’s hectic, 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 close enough you create better entertainment anyway rather than trying to do it like th🎐is.

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

“I find these things a bit unnecessary.”
