Um I don't think it worked particularly great. voice-verified

Um but but now I think Monza's shown that voice-verified

The the problem with and this is going a little bit to your point of uh how you don't like the sprint in the finale, the other side to it as well is I I would argue that you're is so unlikely you're gonna have a championship showdown at the final race if you keep adding extra points here. voice-verified

Because Formula One now you're having voice-verified

So many races, so many points on the table, you always go into Formula One and there's a dominant team or driver, uh, or at least strongest. voice-verified

With all these points on offer, it it just seems that you're it's gonna be so hard to have a a title finale, it feels like, if if you're giving up sprint points here and sprint points there all the time and it's just gonna open the gap even more potentially. voice-verified

That is what they're they're doing, but the argument the the argument is when you've got, you know, nine previous sprints before it, uh, and twenty three races, probably that someone in the championship is already gonna have a thirty point lead, you you'd assume. voice-verified

But yeah, it's that is a the idea behind it potentially that that it adds more points on offer so they can when when someone's thirty one points ahead and clearly gonna win the title easily they voice-verified

The title showdown is going to absol voice-verified

Showdown is going to Abu voice-verified

Well, voice-verified

have done it. voice-verified

And voice-verified

Looking at this calendar, it does feel like we're going in that in that direction. voice-verified

I would like to I'm not against sprint weekends and them them being kind of of there and there is part of me, which is probably why Formula One do it, uh and it works, that when you've had a sprint weekend and you go back into a normal weekend, it does feel a little bit like oh my word, practice. voice-verified

The part of it, isn't it? voice-verified

But even the drivers always talk about it, don't they? voice-verified

Of like we don't need this practice. voice-verified

They don't need it. voice-verified

They always say it that that's it. voice-verified
