Wasn't that big of a hit was it?

No, but Max is a crybaby

I mean I get why Verstappen is pissed as Russell was fairly aggressive. But it's no different at all than what Verstappen has done to others countless times. Furthermore, the throttle works both ways Max. If you thought there wasn't enough space for both cars, you had every opportunity to back out of it...

I feel I keep repeating the same things since the first sprint race in 2021.
I just want more track action. If I had bought 200€ tickets, what would I get for Saturday? Barely 1 hour of F1 action. 2 hour should be minimum. I would prefer 3 hours.

Primarily I'm against these gimmicks because they dilutes Sunday GP's specialty. If we have already gotten enough entertainment by the end of Saturday, then Sunday 2-hour might feel uninteresting.
Also, all these changes were done to bring more Crypto.com sponsorship money and social media exposure, both of which should be that last reason to change Sports's rule. You don't change Football rules just to make them appeal new fans. They shall remain the same for centuries to come. So should F1, because it's a sport like Football, not entertainment.

Fair call on the track action on Saturday, I'd argue the quality vs quantity, but if I were at a race track I wouldn't be glued to my seat for practice, but I would for sprint qualy/sprint race.

I do find it odd you want F1 to remain the same for centuries to come as it's one of the most dynamic ever changing sports in the world

Very little potential for anything interesting to happen in this race
