I think this was the race that turned me off the original sprint format. Its a classic British GP but the track has always felt super long to me. Expecting Aston to fly and Ferrari to be flat based off absolutely no data.
Ironically, this is the track that sold me on the sprint. I was at Silverstone in 2021 when there was a sprint, which meant on the Saturday (with free roam grandstands) I was able to sit on the pit straight for the sprint and see the grid start, but then on Sunday got to go to my actual seat for the main race.
It really was the best of both worlds.
