Ahead of this weekend's Brazilian GP, Max Verstappen says he doesn't understand why F1 is adding even more sprint races next year. “Every time I do these [sprint] races, it’s about ‘don’t get damage.'

“Every time I do these [sprint] races, it’s about ‘don’t get damage, make sure you stay in the top three,’” said Verstappen. Verstappen thought F1 should “just stick to the main race” instead of throwing an extra sprint into the weekend format. charged from last place on the grid to finish fourth in last year’s sprint race at Interlagos before going on to win the grand prix on Sunday.driver felt F1 had to be “very selective” where it held sprint races, favouring tracks where overtaking was easier, but he had liked the format because it was “different.”
