Sprint Race – Monza dampens the hopes of F1

Why a masquerade? This second sprint race is very similar to the first, where Alonso was a bit like the tree that hides the forest. Each time a driver (ok, that's not enough) lost a lot, each time it therefore changed the grid (but not enough) and that's very good, that's what I want, of course. uncertainty, car racing, and there, I'm 2 on a weekend!! So yes it can be improved, maybe the 'small' race is a little too short and then there is the parc ferme starting from the sprint race and therefore EL 2 which is almost useless anymore, Yes, it needs to be modified.
