Ross Brawn is open to the idea of introducing reverse grids into Formula 1 – but is wary that the sport would be running the risk of becoming "too synthetic".
Since owners Liberty Media took over the running of the sport, they have been keen to add more exciting action on race weekends. In theory it's good news for fans as they get to see more racing, though the driving motivation from Liberty's perspective is, of course, the financial benefits.
Sprint Qualifying is a prime example – adding an extra short-form race to selected weekends, but it's not an innovation which has been universally popular. As is often the case when change occurs, there is some resistance from people who like things exactly the way they are.
