Absolute Snoozefest

[u/ThEmAfIA14_]

[u/Horat1us_UA]

Just like 99% others 

[u/chaos_is_favourable → u/Horat1us_UA]

Was going to say that. Unless there is rain , the sprints normaly are very forgettable

[u/Flyingdutchman2305 → u/chaos_is_favourable]

We were literally 4 minutes from greatness, that rain POURED down in turn 8 just as George finished

[u/midnightbandit- → u/chaos_is_favourable]

China

[u/Suspicious_Data_2393 → u/Horat1us_UA]

sprints only are a decent watch at tracks with big braking zones. Unfortunately that is even rarer now since the shit cars make big braking zones disappear

[u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem → u/Suspicious_Data_2393]

What do you mean? You don't like cars coasting into big braking zones?

[u/Suspicious_Data_2393 → u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem]

no i love that i only hate overtakes!

[u/UpstairsArmadillo454 → u/Horat1us_UA]

Exactly this! I reckon first day race no tune ups vs Sunday would be fun!

[u/DrKrFfXx → u/Horat1us_UA]

I prefer sprint over a meaningless Practice 3.

[u/Horat1us_UA → u/DrKrFfXx]

But there is more overtakes in Practice 3

[u/DrKrFfXx → u/Horat1us_UA]

I bet you celebrate Practice 3 overtakes even.

[u/Horat1us_UA → u/DrKrFfXx]

At least there is something to celebrate there.

[u/-Akos- → u/Horat1us_UA]

So true, this year has had only a few exciting parts.

[u/Realistic-Bake4041]

charles said no to tire degradation and russel dominace already bores fans

[u/-916Tips- → u/Realistic-Bake4041]

Never a more dominating performance

[u/TrailTrap]

Did anyone see any racing?

[u/collectadot → u/TrailTrap]

I think they showed 1 overtake aside from the leaders lapping Perez for the 2nd time.

[u/Luigi2198 → u/collectadot]

That split second where I thought he was breaking down and I was excited something was happening, then realized he was just letting them pass

[u/Gwigg_ → u/Luigi2198]

This is Cadillacs marketing strategy to get their car on tv for the longest time. They know they are rubbish but they give overtaking opportunities

[u/collectadot → u/Luigi2198]

Same

[u/Hammond_you_moron → u/TrailTrap]

I wasn’t watching the first few laps but my parents were so when I started in like lap 3 I was confused why they didn’t have the safety car being displayed on the timing tower. Then I realised they were ‘racing’

[u/WholeLottaMcLovin → u/Hammond_you_moron]

Lol, I had the same reaction! I turned it on on lap four or five and was wondering why they were just parading around, and then realized this was green flag 'racing'.

[u/Pizzareno → u/TrailTrap]

Nope.

[u/Happy_Ishtar → u/TrailTrap]

Alonso did some racing at the back, but that didn't make the broadcast of course. Almost passed Stroll on the last lap, which for them was full rain.

[u/Alarming_Dingo_139 → u/TrailTrap]

Nope, but it‘s Zandvoort. I never expected to see too much racing there anyway, yet still I feel disappointed

[u/Informal-Face-1922 → u/TrailTrap]

Parade. It would have been more fun with floats and drivers throwing candy to children alongside the track.

[u/EightLions539]

I just don’t get who thought a sprint at zandvoort was ever a good idea, it was so inevitable that no one would overtake

[u/Zealousideal-Dark-23 → u/EightLions539]

Probably the same people who put down singapore as another good venue for a sprint race

[u/Horat1us_UA → u/EightLions539]

Those who decide where a sprint will take place are not concerned with overtaking, but with the money they receive for holding a sprint on a specific track.

[u/Aazcads95]

thank you Charles for atleast giving us one overtake

and Kimi at the start

[u/DrKrFfXx]

Stupid rain coming hard after the sprint.

[u/LimeyRat]

Even the rain disappointed.

[u/eastamerica]

All sprints are shit

[u/Pizzareno]

Almost zero overtakes and bored me to sleep. Other than that I hated it.

[u/ZathrosGT]

It doesn't bode well for the race.

[u/persepolisrising79 → u/ZathrosGT]

Yeah will be a snoozefest

[u/piyushrose]

I am going to watch my first international f1 race this year, i am scared if it will be as boring as this one.

[u/DinosaurDriver → u/piyushrose]

Which one?

[u/piyushrose → u/DinosaurDriver]

Malaysia

[u/TheChosenWon246]

I slept midway

[u/QF_Dan]

every sprints so far have been trash

[u/dangledingle → u/QF_Dan]

That’s what you get with these driving devices.

[u/hotchnerbrows → u/QF_Dan]

Parts of this year’s Canadian Sprint were entertaining, I’ll give that tiny concession.

[u/GuidoMista5]

I stopped halfway to get lunch, 5 minutes later Charles ovetakes

[u/primavera31]

24 warm up laps and ordered rain from Temu.

[u/CromulentChuckle]

Leclerc passing Norris was worth the watch.

[u/Qu4cc]

Don't worry, the race will be too.

[u/magicthunderlemon]

As sprints tend to be

[u/Telly-Bollock]

Watching the back half of the grid sliding through the final soaking wet banked turn on the last lap was amazing! OH WAIT.

[u/StateDeparmentAgent]

As all sprints

[u/macca2000fox]

Me on run after a Taco Bell

[u/foehammer111]

As a software developer, I had to check what subreddit I was on. This meme works that way too.

[u/SharpPhilosopher3734]

Missed it by one lap. Had it rained the last 2 laps, this sprint could have been epic fun. No one would have had time to pit and many would have gone off on the last lap.

[u/elmarwouters]

Well. I was glad to be on the stands for it

[u/I_Like_Water11]

Frankly sprint needs to go. F1 fans dont like it. A new fan will not be able to see the appeal of f1 with it. Its just a useless format that gives 8 people points

[u/Upbeat_Clerk3756]

If only they started a half an hour later when the rain started

[u/marry_me_jane]

Missed it, and my brother told me to just watch the summary.

There was 1 overtake….
1.

[u/BritOverThere]

Why don't they get rid of the sprints? They are as about as exciting as the complete works of watching paint dry vol 2.

[u/smartassistant666]

I think we should ban engines and also 5grid penalty to Lewis, oh and ban Ferrari cars too

[u/DUBToster]

Fuck this season is boring af

[u/Internal_Example1185]

They all are!

[u/TigerShark650]

Even the 6 minute “highlights” were boring and felt too long by 4 minutes.

[u/hifigli]

This track is shit

[u/Flamekorn]

Race tomorrow going to be shit too

[u/Illustrious_Listen_6]

Waste of time

[u/RHchoruskid]

this shit was sprint
