What if sprint races were their own Championship?

[@NeedforMine1]

Video just got released and my guess is Max will absolutely dominate this as well

[@EpicUniqueWill9]

Some Finnish guy named Valtteri Bottas stole the 2021 title on countback, but otherwise, you are correct.

[@juusoleinonen]

@@EpicUniqueWill9 I dont think anyone knows who that is tbh

[@BrandonA1]

If you want any other format ideas, mine is simple: CART Points. It especially works since at one time CART tried to buy out Formula 1, the format was very simple: 1. 20 2. 16 3. 14 4. 12 5. 10 6. 8 7. 6 8. 5 9. 4 10. 3 11. 2 12. 1 Pole: +1 Most Laps Led: +1 Races count fully after the 50% mark, don't count otherwise, finishers are eligible for points as long as they start it, and shared drives are proportionally recorded with points, rounded.

[@dominicbarden4436]

I've put this system with recent IndyCar seasons, with some interesting results. With the talk earlier this year of expanding the points positions down to 12, F1 could do worse than this. I wouldn't mind a point being awarded for fastest lap either.

[@elizabuppy]

I feel like this would create some really interesting results. I would love to see a video on this Peter ^^

[@dominicbarden4436]

@@elizabuppy Finding who led the most laps in a race might be a bit of a grind though.

[@MarcsCupofTea]

BTCC Points system Peter?

[@Codi95]

I hope F1 does that rookie race at Abu Dhabi in 2025. It's a very good idea. And your rookies in sprint idea its also cool

[@colewhittaker3976]

I personally think sprints would be more interesting if they even somewhat attempted to rotate them. Brazil has had one for all 4 years and will have it a 5th time, and tracks like Miami, Austin, and Qatar will have them for 2nd or 3rd time in a row next year as well. If they can pick at least 3 different tracks on an annual basis I think it'd make it more exciting

[@RadityaPramanaPutra2001]

@@colewhittaker3976 For example: 2021: Silverstone, Monza, and Interlagos. 2022: Imola, Baku, and Spielberg. 2023: Spa, Lusail, and Austin. 2024: Sakhir, Shanghai, and Miami. 2025: Melbourne, Jeddah, and Barcelona.

[@colewhittaker3976]

@@RadityaPramanaPutra2001 Valid. Maybe I’m just hoping for complete turnover year over year. Seeing sprints at Interlagos is getting old tbh

[@RadityaPramanaPutra2001]

@colewhittaker3976 Yeah. On the other side, it's prove that Interlagos is the best Latin American circuits of all time, for me. 🇧🇷

[@PH-jv4ik]

The only reason F1 or whoever it is that's in charge doesn't make sprints a rookie event is because they know it'll kill F2 (which is pretty useless at evaluating or showing off drivers)

[@EdwardT380]

Great thumbnail lol 😂😂

[@Out_Beyond_The_Heliopause]

Fab video! It would be interesting if F1 took the full F2 route with sprints, reversing the top 10 and more points overall, but I dont know if that would necessarily improve the format racing wise

[@L.internet8]

Sprint racing only works at Interlagos, and it almost prevented the rest of the weekend from happening on the 2024 GP. Where do these track maps come from? They look really good

[@RadityaPramanaPutra2001]

Prove that Interlagos is the best Latin American circuits of all time, for me. 🇧🇷

[@idstice]

Another crazy ideas for the sprints would be to introduce even softer tyres, so that pit stops will actually become an option

[@Kinggrave]

Would’ve been perfect for that orange tyre from a few years back

[@BassyBoy]

Love these videos! Personally Peter, I am not really into the "pronouncing every driver name" but the historic, alternate history and these alternative universe ideas I really like!

[@nickwall2497]

Always thought the spint races would be better as their own mini championship and not be included in the overall championship. Also 1 shot qualifying too in championships order, letting the cars at the back have the track at it's best. Could shake it up a bit, especially in the midfield

[@TheEnergeticPanda]

Great video as always. I hope you dont stop making videos I can tell you don't like sprints and that im in the minority of hardcore fans in that i like them!

[@Jewsenburg]

I for one would be very inclined for another live tier list, perhaps for 1980s F1 cars or from 2020 onwards!

[@hennysmith]

How the hell did Tsunoda compete in 18 sprints? Is it a typo or am I missing something??

[@mattbeard3083]

Tsunoda debuted in 2021, competing in every single sprint race that's been held?

[@hennysmith]

@mattbeard3083 well yes, but everyone else has 17

[@RadityaPramanaPutra2001]

I agree sprint is *MUST* being a separate championships for rookies and reserve drivers. If F1® really can have 15 teams (this is too extreme, indeed), this is my dream 2025 line-up (I have two version, first for regular Grand Prix, and second for sprint race, but all of them is absolutely fantasy): 👇 🇳🇱 Max Verstappen (Red Bull) 🇦🇺 Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) 🇪🇸 Carlos Sainz Jr. (McLaren) 🇬🇧 Lando Norris (McLaren) 🇲🇨 Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) 🇬🇧 Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) 🇫🇮 Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) 🇮🇹 Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) 🇫🇷 Pierre Gasly (Renault) 🇫🇷 Théo Pourchaire (Renault) 🇩🇪 Sebastian Vettel (Porsche) 🇩🇪 Mick Schumacher (Porsche) 🇪🇸 Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) 🇨🇦 Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) 🇳🇿 Liam Lawson (AlphaTauri) 🇦🇺 Jack Doohan (AlphaTauri) 🇬🇧 Jenson Button (Williams-BMW) 🇬🇧 George Russell (Williams-BMW) 🇩🇪 Nico Rosberg (Audi) 🇩🇪 Nico Hülkenberg (Audi) 🇯🇵 Yuki Tsunoda (Honda) 🇨🇳 Zhou Guanyu (Honda) 🇹🇭 Alexander Albon (Toyota) 🇦🇺 Oscar Piastri (Toyota) 🇫🇮 Kimi Räikkönen (Alfa Romeo) 🇧🇷 Felipe Drugovich (Alfa Romeo) 🇫🇷 Esteban Ocon (Peugeot) 🇬🇧 Oliver Bearman (Peugeot) 🇲🇽 Sergio Pérez (Cadillac) 🇳🇱 Nyck de Vries (Cadillac) And this is for sprint only: 👇 🇨🇭 Ralph Boschung (Red Bull) 🇳🇴 Dennis Hauger (Red Bull) 🇲🇽 Patricio O'Ward (McLaren) 🇧🇷 Enzo Fittipaldi (McLaren) 🇮🇹 Antonio Giovinazzi (Ferrari) 🇲🇨 Arthur Leclerc (Ferrari) 🇪🇪 Paul Aron (Mercedes) 🇩🇰 Frederik Vesti (Mercedes) 🇫🇷 Isack Hadjar (Renault) 🇫🇷 Victor Martins (Renault) 🇩🇪 Fabian Vettel (Porsche) 🇩🇪 David Schumacher (Porsche) 🇧🇷 Pietro Fittipaldi (Aston Martin) 🇧🇷 Gabriel Bortoleto (Aston Martin) 🇳🇱 Richard Verschoor (AlphaTauri) 🇪🇸 Pepe Martí (AlphaTauri) 🇬🇧 Arvid Lindblad (Williams-BMW) 🇬🇧 Zak O'Sullivan (Williams-BMW) 🇩🇪 Sophia Flörsch (Audi) 🇩🇪 Oliver Goethe (Audi) 🇯🇵 Ayumu Iwasa (Honda) 🇮🇳 Jehan Daruvala (Honda) 🇯🇵 Ritomo Miyata (Toyota) 🇮🇳 Kush Maini (Toyota) 🇮🇹 Leonardo Fornaroli (Alfa Romeo) 🇦🇷 Franco Colapinto (Alfa Romeo) 🇫🇷 Giuliano Alesi (Peugeot) 🇫🇷 Clément Novalak (Peugeot) 🇺🇸 Jak Crawford (Cadillac) 🇺🇸 Juan Manuel Correa (Cadillac)

[@wolferux]

Damn, I don't know what's more impressive, the fact that you did that list in 14 minutes or made from scratch a list of fantasy f1 teams and still included Lance Stroll and Mick Schumacher

[@RadityaPramanaPutra2001]

@wolferux Yeah, this is one of the most craziest list that I ever made on my life overall.

My dad loves them, he loves that they race more, and no hes not a DTS fan, he watched in the early 2000s but usually fell asleep

Just need to create the 'What if fastest laps decided championships' video now. ;) Will be straight onto watching that video if made and see Jonathan Palmer win the 1989 Canadian GP.

Would also be interesting to see a destructors championship for this, who is pushing too hard for the Sprints?

Sprint races should have some spin to it, like reversed grid or something.

[@nducation8039]

Points for the top three in qualifying, and no sprint.

[@TomLehockySVK]

How about we just all collectivelly STOP watching the Sprint races to tell the FIA we do not give a fudge about that nonsense so we can go to normal Sunday racing only ?
