Midfield Backmarker Teams

in #sport3 years ago

In my opinion there needs to be some change made to make it worth it for the midfield and backmarker teams, because right now there doesn’t seem to be any sort of benefit for them except maybe starting a few positions different from what they would in quali. I’m just throwing ideas out (and I’m aware it’s got flaws, don’t worry!) but if the sprint didn’t change the grid for the main race, what about having 11-20 start the sprint as the top 10 and vice versa? Chance for the midfield to drive for points in clear air at the front, lower midfield/backmarkers to at least try and hold position, front runners have to pull a lot of overtakes to get points. Only people it would hurt would be the people qualifying like 5th-10th as they probably don’t have the pace to overtake into the points, but that’s the gamble teams make- is it better that weekend to qualify well for the sprint or main race?
