I’m not for gimmicks. They are obviously meant to increase viewership / ticket sales on Friday when they run quali on sprint weekends. The only way they would be interesting to me would be if they started the sprint in reverse finishing order from the previous weekend. This might encourage real racing on Saturday, but would eliminate Friday qualifying so it would defeat the purpose for F1.
You are absolutely right. There isn't much space you can do on such sprint races because they to short and on the other hand you risk a crush to completely damage your car.
I assume that you added the sprint races to bring something completely new to F1
