The sprint is a nonsense. It adds nothing to the GP because it simply replicates the results, or close to them, of the GP order.
In effect this spreads the championship separation out, rather than close it up so its meaningless.
If the grid for the sprint was a reverse of the previous days qualifying that would certainly add a lot more spice to the event and provide much more interest.
Perhaps if the Friday was an hour or 90 min of practice, then GP qualifying, but no park ferme. following day was another hour of practice then a sprint from a full reverse grid of the previous days qualifying, with points awarded as per present, then no park ferme and another warm-up on G.P. day morning followed later by the race on the Friday grid, that would make each weekend more interesting.
I don't like reverse grid races but if Liberty and FIA want something more spectacular then why not something really spectacular.
