Max Verstappen holds a healthy lead in the Formula 1 drivers' championship, and desperate measures are being put forward with his title defence looking like a formality
Sky Sports pundit David Croft has called for Formula 1 to introduce a Sprint world championship alongside the main competition, despite reigning champ Max Verstappen having spoken out against the format.
Verstappen has even suggested he could be encouraged to quit Formula 1 if more and more tweaks are made. However, Croft, who covered Formula 1 for the BBC before moving over to Sky, has proposed a solution. "And then the cars are not in parc ferme for the rest of the weekend, because you then have your practice session on the Saturday morning, Saturday qualifying and then the race on Sunday. So you're keeping the two very separate for different world championships.
He had previously questioned the changes in April, hinting at an eventual exit from the sport despite his dominance. "If we keep expanding the calendar and the whole weekend is that long, at one point you question yourself 'is it worth it?'," he said.
