Lando Norris is expecting a free-for-all in the Sprint this afternoon with the result having no bearing on the starting grid for Sunday's Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The Sprints were previously used to decide the starting order for the race whenever the format was used. But it has now been changed, with teams previously reluctant to take many risks when the cost of a crash would be so high.
So now, the starting grid for the main race is already set in stone after qualifying on Friday. It gives racers more of an incentive to go for it in the Sprint as there is now less jeopardy involved.
