Good multi-lap battle there at the end, the rest was a pretty bleh DRS fest.
It seems there have been a few times now where sprint races have actually robbed us of a mixed up grid for the real race. I'd actually love to see them move the sprints to Friday, with a completely different engine/gearbox allocation so there's no excuse to not push all-out:
Friday AM - 30 minute practice, immediately into single-lap quali (like mid 2000s)
Friday PM - Sprint race
Saturday AM - Practice
Saturday PM - Quali
True test of drivers jumping into a hot-lap and race with very limited track time (and a very green track). Sprint race shouldn't have any impact on the rest of the weekend - sprint finishing order determines running order at next sprint-quali.
