Sergio Perez says it is good if fans enjoy sprint qualifying, but admitted he does not find enjoyment in racing in those sessions.

The Red Bull driver dropped from his third-place starting spot to P4 after being leapfrogged by Carlos Sainz in the latest edition of the sprint in Brazil, which took place over 24 laps.

Lewis Hamilton’s rise from last to fifth position has been the main talking point since the sprint took place, but the Mexican driver feels they lack action overall and ultimately do not change much for the main races on Sundays.

Coupled with that, he also feels drivers are unable to put as much on the line as they would like, in case they cause significant damage to their car ahead of the grand prix – but admitted there were “more risks I could have taken” on Saturday.
