How does Parc ferme work with this format? Are teams only allowed to change their setup after FP1?

Nope.
Good luck!

You can replace damaged parts with same spec ones between the sprint and race iirc, but still have fun with setup.

Max (and also Checo but he tends to start on the front row less) haven't had the greatest starts for a while, both end of last season and this one. Reaction time is most of it I think but still.

doesn’t really matter when the car is so fast that they’ve made up the places and out of DRS range in 5 laps anyway

Nobody respects George Russell, and rightfully so.

if he keeps putting holes in Max's car because max doesn't know how to back out of a corner he might earn it

I don't think the sprints are in and of themselves bad but they were extremely poorly thought out in both F1 and MotoGP and more or less a knee jerk reaction to broadcasters complaining about viewership dropping in certain markets.

Baseball's viewership dropped and they took a holistic view on why people were turning off the game, implemented a ton of changes that addressed that even though the old die hard fans grumbled and its basically turned into my favourite sport to watch in 2023.

instead in F1 you have red bull loving off into the distance with 7 DRS zones/track and an extra race on Saturday with more shouting because thats what the lobotomised fans that came in through Netflix respond to.

Coming in late but I gotta say I love Alpha Tauri pit crew telling Yuki “yup, this baby’s all fixed and good to go, you go out there, champ, and bring us some points!” and the car just absolutely making GBS threads itself as it crabbing out of the pits.
