A short video today just on the idea of having occasional sprint races to decide the grid and some ponderings on playing with quali in general.

Exactly what I've been trying and failing to express! This is a unique season - let's try some ideas out and see what might work.

Much as the reverse grids concept is an exciting one, what draws opposition is that it is (a) radical and (b) clearly benefits some teams/drivers and disadvantages others. What would be better is some modest change to the rules, bound to have some effect on the racing, but not obvious whom would be better off from it.

My suggestion would be: for the repeat races, do away with DRS and the restrictions on tyre type and the requirement to pit stop. Instead, to promote overtaking, provide that for one lap in each of a given set of laps (eg. laps 1-4, 5-8, and so on; or laps 1-3, 4-6, and so on) the car must not draw power from the MGUs. Drivers could elect just before the lap began when to forfeit MGU power, which they could try to time strategically to attempt to have MGUs+engine power when a driver they were closely following was using only engine power. There might be yo-yo racing where a car manages to overtake another forfeiting MGU power for a lap, only to have to defend that car the following lap when roles might be reversed.
