Fans and several drivers took aim at F1’s sprint race format following▨ a flat second trial run of the experiment at 🍃the Italian Grand Prix, with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez labelling it “very boring”.

F1ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ is open to considering ways to improve the format going forward, including the prospect of introducing a standalone 𓃲sprint race - possibly with a reserve grid -  that wouldn’t impact the starting order for the grand prix.

But Alonso said F1 doesn’t necessarily need to tweak its ♏format and pointed to how other sports such as football don’t shake up their rules following “boring” goalless draws.

💃“I think Formula 1 is always pursuing an improvement that sometimes this is not needed, in a way,” said the two-time world champion. “I don’t see any other🌟 sport being so worried about making or improving the show.

“I see football, which normally is the king of sports, and there are so many games that ar🐼e so boring. And the following week there is not any drama, there is not any ch🌼ange.

“There are no suggestions h🌸ow to change the game to make the goal bigger, to play without a goalkeeper to improve th🐷e show. There are no dramas.

“The sport is at it is and Formula 1 should ꧙be happy and proud as a show because it is a very big thing.”

Alonso said he is not a fan of a reverse grid idea and instead suggested that F1 could 🌟return to one-shot qualifying if it wants to try to improve things.

“My feeling is that the Friday is what is maybe dictating the rest of the weeken🌳d, because the qualifying is ma🐬de by the car performance and not by the driver input,” he explained.

“When you have only on♑e set of tyres or one attempt - okay the car is the🏅 most important thing but the driver has to deliver in that minute and a half.

“When you have one hour and six sets of tyres, you make one mistake, you make two mistakes but then you put anoth💝er set of tyres, and agai൲n you finish in the position you deserve, or the car deserves.

“So I think we should really add some difficulty to the Friday, maybe even only 💜one 🅘attempt not six.”

F1 last used one-shot qualifying in 2005 before switching to the current three-stage forma𓃲t the following year.

“Imagine one lap in Monaco and ♚you only have that lap and there is track evo, or maybe there is weather,” he added.

“Maybe 𝔉the leaders of the championship start first, and you make a mega lap, with the track evolution and you start on the first row of the grid, something like that.

“Maybe t🌳here is one weekend where you are lucky, and you can perform something extra.

“Now, your hands a🐈re tied. Even if you have inspiration one day, if your car is the fifth fastest, you will finish ninth and 10th.”
