    What would stop the fastest teams from doing their utmost best to qualifying last, thus getting the wanted top spot in sprint and sail away with the victory? Any metric used by FIA to identify or mitigate ‘slowness’ is going to be a shit-show as teams can offer up valid excuses, like ‘this is not an exact science, we just had bad luck’

    And then we have the biggest issue with this: this is a high performance sport, being first is literally the point. And you punish that by dropping these down the grid? You will find no driver in favour of this I would think.

      I assume he meant reverse grid for sprint but normal grid for race - so you still want to qualify first to have the best chance in the race where there are more points up for grabs.
