Zak Brown believes that necessary pit stops would add a brand new dimension to the Sprints.
Whereas the six venues at which Sprints shall be held subsequent season have been agreed, the exact format remains to be into consideration.
As F1 ponders the idea of a stand-alone championship the game can also be methods through which to boost the occasions which for essentially the most half have been uninspiring.
With drivers unwilling to threat damaging their automobiles for the principle occasion, lots of the Sprints have been little greater than ‘rehearsals’ for the Grand Prix that follows.
Varied concepts are being thought of together with reversing the grid primarily based on qualifying outcomes and increasing the variety of positions which rely for factors.
McLaren boss, Zak Brown nonetheless believes that one concept that ought to be thought of is the introduction of necessary pit stops.
“I do not suppose they take away from the glamour of the Grand Prix however I do suppose we have to take a look at the format,” he tells the Monitor Limits podcast.
“I feel he’d say on the entire they have not been fairly as thrilling as they are often,” he says of Max Verstappen, who has made no secret of his dislike of the Dash. “So whether or not that is reverse grids, whether or not that is necessary pit stops, whether or not it is a tremendous, super-soft tyre that goes off midway by the race, I feel we do have to do one thing to combine up the race.”
The American believes that versus the present 100 km Dash – it is within the title – followers would get pleasure from a obligatory pit cease for contemporary tyres round half distance.
“I feel necessary pit stops could be good,” he insists. “And I feel if we had super-soft tyres that intentionally went off midway by and also you then needed to determine do you modify? Do you not change?
“I feel that may be a option to type of condense it right into a mini Grand Prix and make it as a result of proper now there is no technique, you simply dash so I feel that may be attention-grabbing.”
After all, that is simply one other technique of manipulating the motion, as if demanding tyres solely set to final so many laps on Sunday afternoon wasn’t sufficient.
Ignoring the inexperienced agenda that the game is perpetually crowing about and the truth that this concept would require much more tyres to be transported around the globe, if it did not enhance the Dash what then… two necessary stops, refuelling, pit on the finish of each second lap or in alphabetical order?
