    Sprint races started out as a sort of “heat” race to improve quali position. Now it is just pointless. I don’t get why they do it.

      It’s because it’s additional races on the calendar, without the additional overhead cost of going to additional circuits.

      More racing means more eyeballs, which means more money for F1.
