F1 | Hulkenberg also rejects the Sprint Race: "Stupid thing"

This year Formula 1 could experiment with the Sprint Race on Saturday. Something that could radically change the concept of a race weekend. It is said that it could be tested in three weekends in 2021, but almost all of those involved do not like this. Even Nico Hulkenberg, for the second consecutive year out of the starting grid of the season, wanted to have his say, also going against those who say that Formula 1 is boring.

“The Sprint Race is nonsense – a convinced Hulkenberg told Servus TV. It seems like a very artificial way to create spectacle and tension. Teams and producers are investing many millions, with thousands of people involved, and then something like this is thrown at them. Boring Formula 1? But this thing has been said for 10 or 15 years, yet people still watch it and are fascinated by it. Not all football matches are exciting and beautiful to watch. Current aerodynamics make this sport fascinating and fast, but it is also the reason why the cars seem static, because overtaking is often very difficult."
