Formula 1 needs to consider tweaks – and even the idea of a reverse grid format – to bring more entertainment to the sprint races, says Red Bull boss Christian Horner.

Despite Horner’s championship-winning squad cruising to victory in the F1 sprint at the United States Grand Prix, he has said the lacklustre spectacle has left even him unconvinced by the entertainment that the Saturday races produce. With the standalone sprint format introduced this year rarely offering much good racing, and even ruining excitement for Sundays because they deliver answers about the true race-pace of each team, Horner thinks something needs to be done to shake things up.

“If I would be a fan, I would just be disappointed because then you more or less know about the picture,” he said. “If nothing crazy happens, you know what's going to happen tomorrow so I find that it takes away that magic of waking up on a Sunday morning or whatever, Sunday afternoon, and you turn on the TV and you’ve had qualifying, but you're not sure which car is going to be quickest in most of the years.
