"I think what we have at the moment isn’t quite right for the drivers, the fans or the teams,” explained Horner. “I think there needs to be more to it.

“We have just won a sprint race, and nobody quite knows what to do because all the focus is already on the grand prix. It’s like you’ve won a long run and got a medal for it"

    The single day format of Formula-E allows the double headers. F1 doesn’t need sprints, it needs support series that people care about

      Agreed.

      F1 does have feeder series up the wazoo (F2, F3, Formula-E, F1 Academy), it just doesn’t market and broadcast them very well.
      They wouldn’t really need to spice up the actual GP if there was stuff happening with the feeder series through the weekend.
