摩纳哥F1冲刺赛：好主意还是疯狂之举？记者各抒己见
F1公布2027年24站赛历时宣布摩纳哥大奖赛将采用冲刺赛制，Motorsport.com的记者们就这一安排展开讨论，有人认为这破坏了摩纳哥周末的传统节奏，也有人主张F1应借此机会对冲刺赛制进行更大胆的改革。
摩纳哥F1冲刺赛：好主意还是疯狂之举？我们的记者各抒己见
随着F1公布2027年24站赛历，最引人关注的新变化是摩纳哥大奖赛将采用冲刺赛制。这是好主意还是疯狂之举？我们的记者权衡利弊。
F1长期以来一直计划将目前每年六个冲刺赛周末的数量进一步增加，因为该赛制能让推广方向付费观众提供更多有意义的赛道内容，使冲刺赛周末成为值得花钱的卖点。数据显示，相比无意义的练习赛，车迷也更频繁地收看冲刺赛，尽管冲刺赛制本身仍引发争议。
F1将冲刺赛制应用于摩纳哥这条列队行驶的赛道，是否有些过火了？我们的记者给出他们的判断。
两场排位赛破坏了摩纳哥周末逐步升温的DNA——Ronald Vording
我必须承认，我仍然不是冲刺赛制的最大粉丝，尽管也许不像几年前那样强烈反对了。我想人总会习惯一切，但如果让我选择，我仍然更偏爱传统的比赛周末——部分原因也是在赛道上文字媒体工作流程的问题。
尽管如此，冲刺赛周末的商业好处是显而易见的。周五和周六对推广方来说变得更有吸引力，因为买票的人能看到更多真正有意义的环节。当然，F1管理层说这是基于数据显示车迷有多喜欢它，但大家都知道这并不能说明全部。
在摩纳哥举办冲刺赛似乎从商业上并无必要，但在这方面重要的是要记住，冲刺赛周末不仅仅是两场比赛。从逻辑上讲，这个赛制也意味着两场排位赛，而这正是让摩纳哥天平倾斜的原因。从这个角度看，明年我们将两次看到摩纳哥所能提供的最精彩内容。
你可能会说这听起来不错，因为摩纳哥的排位赛总是让车迷屏息凝神。但它带走了摩纳哥周末的一些魅力。毕竟，摩纳哥比赛周末的全部意义在于逐步推向绝对高潮，那是F1赛季最精彩的时刻之一。它关乎看着车手在每次练习赛中一点点逼近护墙，直到周六下午的那一个巅峰时刻。
后者在赛道边行走时也清晰可见——这在摩纳哥是无与伦比的。虽然车手在第一次练习赛中故意留出一些余量，但一天后——在第三次练习赛接近尾声时——你会越来越多地看到他们在Piscine和Tabac等地方寻找极限。这是在与风险调情，是在建立信心与想要太多太快之间的平衡。而这种平衡可能会出错——问问维斯塔潘就知道了，他在2018年最后一次练习赛中撞车，不得不驾驶一辆本可能获胜的赛车错过排位赛。
一场接一场地逐步构建摩纳哥周末，在周六达到那一个巅峰，对车手来说是一门艺术，对观众来说是一种享受。而正是这种动态现在正在改变。明年，由于上午有冲刺赛，通往常规排位赛的铺垫将完全不同，同时也引发了车手愿意承担多大风险的问题，因为周六下午对周末的结果至关重要。
摩纳哥的两场排位赛无疑将非常精彩，但这改变了摩纳哥周末的DNA以及车手构建它的方式——我不确定我内心中的纯粹主义者一定需要这种改变。
F1可以在冲刺赛制上更大胆，考虑倒序发车——Oleg Karpov
制定F1赛历不是一件小事，虽然在现代世界抨击当权者是一种好习惯，但他们实际上做得不错。F1的赛程很好地混合了历史悠久的赛道——蒙扎、斯帕和摩纳哥等仍然占有一席之地——以及像拉斯维加斯和迈阿密这样独特的新赛道，因为这项世界锦标赛正尽力利用其在美国的增长。
马德里也是不错的一步，在欧洲首都之一建街道赛道的想法很好——遗憾的是赛道本身没有达到预期。但如果当地组织者真正努力解决超车问题，未来仍可能取得成功。
加拿大大奖赛也将在2027年举办冲刺赛周末
总体而言，2027年赛历做得很好，抱怨比赛数量增加也有点无意义，毕竟与不久前的过去相比确实增加了。但作为与其他重大体育赛事竞争的全球娱乐产业，这一步是不可避免的。比赛数量进一步增加可能也是如此。
虽然我理解计划必须是进一步增加冲刺赛数量——甚至可能让每场大奖赛都设冲刺赛——但该赛制是否正确仍存疑问。至少在我看来，F1似乎可以更大胆一些，提供一些不同于“迷你大奖赛”的东西，后者只是被塞进一个更大赛事的日程中。本质上，以目前的状态，它除了稍微预览一下我们即将在主赛中看到的内容外，并没有提供太多东西。
这种赛制还确保那些得分最多的人又有机会得更多分，进一步拉大与其他车手的差距——那为什么不干脆让这项赛事属于小车队，给他们一个机会呢？是的，你猜对了，我说的是倒序发车——在我看来，至少可以考虑将赛制颠倒过来，取消额外的排位赛，让发车顺序按积分榜顺序——倒序排列。
我们会看到凯迪拉克和威廉姆斯的车手在这样的比赛中努力多抢几分，这肯定会增加另一个悬念：积分榜领先者从后排起步还能上升多少位？
人为吗？当然。但让专门制造的车辆在赛道上绕圈本身也并不是很自然的事。这不会触及大奖赛赛制本身，最大积分仍归主赛，但至少能提供一些不同的东西，带来全新的悬念。
F1 2027年赛历恰恰证明冲刺赛制需要改革
不久前我为姊妹网站Autosport写了一篇专栏，主张对冲刺赛制进行改革，而看到2027年选出的10个冲刺赛举办地，只会让我更加坚定这个想法。
长话短说，如果你打算每年举办10场冲刺赛，它就需要与主赛有不同的面貌。策略变化是赛道动作和超车的主要驱动力，而一场没有进站短程比赛几乎提供不了这些。
为什么不在冲刺赛周末尝试单圈排位淘汰赛，并按积分榜顺序进行呢？这意味着，按目前情况，安东内利会在赛道条件不是最好时第一个出场，而阿斯顿马丁和凯迪拉克最后出场。
这不像完全倒序发车那样人为，我出于体育原因强烈反对后者。但这是一种更温和地增加悬念的方式，同时仍让车手和车队发挥作用。而且该赛制只适用于冲刺赛发车顺序，保留了大奖赛本身的纯粹性。
单圈排位赛制能否帮助F1的冲刺赛脱颖而出？
就摩纳哥而言，对我来说这感觉像是F1在承认大奖赛作为赛车比赛而非美化巡游方面举白旗。很明显摩纳哥大奖赛不会消失，而且考虑到后勤限制，赛道也将长期保持原样。
2025年可怕的两次进站实验没有成功，所以感觉F1高层已经放弃让大奖赛变得有竞争力，转而倾向于摩纳哥最擅长的事情，即提供两场排位赛而非一场。
从推广角度看这是可以理解的，但如果我们只是接受F1的一些比赛事先就被判定为无望，那感觉就是根本上有问题。

Is a Monaco F1 sprint a good idea or just mad? Our writers have their say
As Formula 1 announced its 24-race 2027 calendar, the most intriguing novelty is the Monaco Grand Prix receiving a sprint format. Is that a good idea or just bonkers? Our writers weigh up the pros and cons
F1 had long planned to increase the number of sprints from the current six weekends per year because. The format allows promoters to offer their paying customers more on-track action that matters, making a sprint weekend an enticing proposition worth forking out money for. The numbers show fans also tune in more often than for meaningless practice sessions, even if the sprint format itself draws mixed review.
Has F1 taken things a step too far by applying the sprint format to Monaco's processional racetrack? Our writers issue their verdict.
Two qualifying sessions disrupt the DNA of the Monaco weekend build-up - Ronald Vording
I have to admit that I am still not the biggest fan of the sprint format, although perhaps a slightly less fervent opponent than I was a few years ago. You get used to everything, I suppose, although if given the choice I would still prefer a traditional race weekend – also partly because of the workflow for written media at the track.
Nevertheless, the commercial benefits of sprint weekends are clear. Fridays and Saturdays are made more attractive for promoters, as those buying a ticket get more action with sessions that actually matter. Of course, F1 management says it is based on data showing how much fans love it, but everyone knows that does not tell the entire story.
A sprint in Monaco does not seem commercially necessary, but in that respect it is important to remember that a sprint weekend is not just about having two races. Logically, the format also means two qualifying sessions, and that is precisely what tipped the balance for Monaco. In that respect, next year we will get the best that Monaco has to offer twice.
Sounds good, you might say, as qualifying in Monaco always has fans on the edge of their seats. But it takes away some of the charm of the Monaco weekend. After all, the Monaco race weekend is all about the gradual build-up towards the absolute highlight, one of the finest moments of the F1 season. It is about watching the drivers get a little closer to the walls with every practice session before that one climax on Saturday afternoon.
The latter is also clear to see when walking trackside – which is unrivalled in Monaco. While drivers deliberately leave some margin during the first practice session, a day later – towards the end of FP3 – you increasingly see them searching for the limit at places such as Piscine and Tabac. It is flirting with risk, a balancing act between building confidence and wanting too much, too soon. And it is a balancing act that can go wrong – just ask Max Verstappen, who crashed during final practice in 2018 and had to miss qualifying with a potentially race-winning car.
Building up the Monaco weekend from session to session, with that one peak on Saturday, is an art for the drivers and a joy to watch. And it is precisely that dynamic that is now changing. Next year, the build-up towards regular qualifying will be completely different because of a sprint race in the morning, while it also raises the question of how much risk drivers will be willing to take, given Saturday afternoon is all-important for the outcome of the weekend.
Two qualifying sessions in Monaco will undoubtedly be spectacular, but this changes the DNA of the Monaco weekend and the way drivers build it up – and I'm not sure the purist in me necessarily needed that to change.
F1 could be braver with its sprint race format and consider reverse grids - Oleg Karpov
Making an F1 calendar is not a trivial task, and while it’s a good habit in the modern world to bash those in charge, they’re actually doing a decent job with it. Formula 1's schedule is a good mix of historic venues - with the likes of Monza, Spa and Monaco still having their place - and unique new ones like Las Vegas and Miami, as the world championship does its best to capitalise on its growth in the United States.
Madrid was a good step too, with the idea of a street track in one of the European capitals - and it’s a shame the track itself didn’t live up to expectations. But if the local organisers really make an effort to solve the overtaking issue, that can still be a success in the future.
The Canadian Grand Prix will also host a sprint weekend in 2027
Overall, the 2027 schedule is well done, and it’s also a bit pointless to moan about the number of races, which has increased compared to the not-so-distant past. But as a global entertainment business competing with other major sporting events, this step is inevitable. As, probably, is a further increase in the number of races.
While I understand that the plan must be to increase the number of sprint races even further - and potentially to make every grand prix feature one - questions remain over whether the format is right. And at least to me, it feels like F1 could be a bit braver with it, offering something different to a “mini-grand prix” which is fitted into the schedule of a larger event. Essentially, in its current state it just doesn’t offer much apart from a little preview of what we’re about to see in the main event.
That format also makes sure those who are scoring the most points get another chance to score even more, increasing the gap to the rest of the field - so why not just make that event about the smaller teams and give them an opportunity? Yes, you guessed it, I’m talking about reverse grids - and to me, it could at least be under consideration to turn the format upside down, scrapping the additional qualifying altogether and allowing the grid to be formed by the championship order - in reverse.
We’d see Cadillac and Williams drivers trying to salvage a few more points in such races, and that would surely add another intrigue: how many places can the championship leaders still gain, starting from the back?
Artificial? For sure. But having purpose-built vehicles going around circuits isn’t very natural in the first place either. That wouldn’t touch the grand prix format itself, with the biggest points still awarded for the main event, but would at least offer something different, with a completely new intrigue to it.
F1 2027 calendar just proves sprint format needs a shake-up
Some time ago I wrote a column for sister website Autosport arguing for a shake-up of the sprint race format, and seeing the 10 venues selected for a sprint in 2027 has only reinforced that idea in my head.
The long and short of it is that if you are going to offer 10 sprint races per year, it needs to have a different look than the main grand prix. Strategic variance is the main driver of on-track action and overtaking, and a short pitstop-less race offers very little of it.
Why not try a one-lap qualifying shootout on sprint weekends, and run it in championship order. That means that, as it stands, Kimi Antonelli would go out first when track conditions are not at their best, with the Aston Martins and Cadillac going out last.
It's not as artificial as a full-blown reverse grid solution, which I am heavily opposed for sporting reasons. But it is a softer way to add jeopardy, while still allowing drivers and teams to make the difference. And the format would only be applied to the sprint grid, retaining the purity of the actual grand prix itself.
Could a one-lap qualifying format help make F1's sprints stand out?
As far as Monaco goes, to me this feels like F1 is waving the white flag on the grand prix as a motor race rather than a glorified parade. It's clear that the Monaco Grand Prix isn't going anywhere, and that the track will also stay as it is for the long term given the logistical constraints.
The dreadful two-stop experiment of 2025 didn't work, so it feels like F1 chiefs have just given up on making the grand prix work and are instead leaning into what Monaco does best, which is to offer two qualifying shootouts instead of one.
It's understandable from a promotional point of view, but if we're just accepting some of F1's races are going to be a write-off in advance, then it feels like something is fundamentally wrong.
Is adding more sprint races a good idea? And how could F1 improve the format? Have your say below
