If anything all the changes should make it a sport with some interesting betting opportunities in the first couple races with some lines likely being way off. However, I don't really have the drive at the moment to really dig deeper into the market and it's become impossible for me to follow F1 live as there are always football matches during that time.

It is indeed a big risk that they are taking and I heard Verstappen say that he might quit F1 sooner than later because of it. Enjoy your F1 Weekend!
