Why did the teams switch to slicks. Making up more than the pitstopgap in 6 laps has to a very unreasonable gamble

For people out of the points the gamble might have helped. Definitely worked for George.

For Hulk, I think he put too much into his tires at the start, he probably would have finished out of the 8 if he stayed on the inters.

It worked for Russel though! No chance at points otherwise imo

But he could profit from the other guys also switching. I wonder if everyone else stayed on inters if he would finish in the points.

If you were out of the points, the gamble was worthy.

Generally not a fan of the sprint weekend format, but this one was pretty enjoyable (probably mainly due to the weather)

Making Saturday a self-contained event makes it more enjoyable imo.

I like that the sprint doesn’t affect the race, but I hate that the slow buildup of the race weekend is disrupted. I just can’t get into quali on a Friday.

I love it. I never really cared about p1-3. I’d check the standings but that’s it. I’ve watched three sessions so far this weekend.

Agreed, doesn’t have implications on Sunday and teams seem to let their drivers actually race.

Definitely one of the best sprint races since the format started.

I’m with Red Bull through and through, but MV finishing 20s+ seconds ahead of the 2nd is not what I want to tune in every Sunday for. Let’s hope Aston Martin can make a title contending car soon!
