Can't help feeling that the structure of one hour's practice (less than that with red flags) then into Parc Ferme for the whole weekend is a step too far.
Would make more sense to me if the practice session was 90 minutes and stoppages added, so that the teams got the full 90. Then qual, then another qual but maybe take the cars out of parc ferme after Saturday's qual, so the teams can tweak them for the two races and back into parc ferme as usual at the conclusion of the sprint.
Just feel that would work better, make the competition more "real" and give us maybe some better racing (although writing this before the GP so might be pre-judging).
