  • Verstappen dislikes sprint races

    From bra@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 27 15:51:31 2023
    Well, some of the best wheeled races I've seen are the classic four-lap races in Speedway. Speedway riders, lie F1 driver, compete in teams. One rider may contest four or five out of 15 races per event.

    Speedway racing is almost a century old, and nobody has demanded sixr ten-lap races. Verstappen may excel at strategizing in a 300-km race, but has he the wherewithal to 'champ' himself into a 4-lap win?

    He was specifically referring to sprint races in F1.
