If it was up to Daniel Ricciardo, Formula One would eradicate free practice sessions from race weekends and just go straight into qualifying.
The rigidity of the modern F1 formats has come under scrutiny in recent years, with the sport's bosses considering ways of changing it for the better. Currently, every weekend on the calendar involves three practice sessions -- Thursday/Friday has two 90 minute sessions, before one 60 minute session on Saturday ahead of qualifying, which is then followed by the grand prix on Sunday.
One tweak which has been suggested in recent months is the addition of a shorter sprint race, possibly featuring a grid formed in reverse championship order or run to decide the grid for the grand prix itself.
