They just want more Sprints so they can up the take from the F1 venues.  :swoon:
Not sure it's been fully discussed in F1 media, or general media before that Liberty charges $4 million extra to have a Sprint at your event.  :DntKnw:

Evidence for this is courtesy a comment from promoter of Canadian GP amongst a longer piece about sprints for 25 season on Racefans.net in July 24.

Miami Grand Prix president Tyler Epp said the sprint event format brings “tremendous excitement and added energy to the race track” after holding it for the first time this year. But Canadian Grand Prix promoter Francois Dumontier claimed sprint races offer poor value for fans and isn’t worth the extra $4 million F1 charges for the format.

Seems entertainment, rather than innovation or better race cars, is the way forward for F1s media Lord & Masters.  :(

Data suggests he is, and maybe it's not an easy instinct to erase.
Are this current gen of cars unresponsive to Hamilton's previous all conquering driving style?   

Young Alex Brundle, son of Martin & F2,F3 and sportscar driver, believes Lewis has a flaw in his driving style and has set out his reasons below:-

Alex Brundle, has poured through Hamilton’s data to spot a driving trait which is ill-suited to his SF-25.

“He has talked about moving the car towards him. And he’s talked about moving himself towards the car,” Brundle told the F1 Nation podcast.

“I look at the data from Lewis every weekend. The trait is the same.

“He goes into high-speed corners and hits a little bit more brake pressure than Charles."

“You can draw a line directly up the wheel-speed graph, to the steering trace, and the brake aligns perfectly with a tiny bit of movement.

“It just upsets the Ferrari everywhere.

“Leclerc is just Mr. Measured on the brakes.

“We know that Lewis had a problem with the same thing, I saw the data, at Mercedes.

“Can he coach himself out of a lifetime’s worth of driving technique to move towards the car? We will find out."

McLaren’s Andrea Stella commented at the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix that this generation of cars are so fast that a driver does not have time to think, they must essentially drive their fastest laps on instinct.

That would make Hamilton’s learning process even trickier.

“It’s a killer trait to have in a car, especially if you're behind,” Brundle said.

“Because you look for the time, and it punishes you again. It gets worse and worse.”

Enjoy a slip sliding ride round the new street track in the vid below.

This little disclaimer was also issued by creators of the vid - *Please note that this video is a preliminary rendering: some elements may change in the final design. So we may not be seeing the proper thing at all.  :D

Oh and the track surface looks more like Roland Garros Clay than road tarmac, d'ya think that's to help Pirelli chocolate tyres?  :DD



If that don't load try this one.
