Should F1 consider introducing reverse grid races?

F1 has undergone some major changes in recent years - could more be on the way?

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali recently revealed the introduction of reverse races into F1 is a “point of discussion” to have going forward.

The sport made a significant format change in 2021 with the inclusion of sprint races at three rounds in the season. The figure has since doubled to six events per year.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has asserted he would be open to reviewing such changes in the interest of keeping the sport fresh.

Reverse grid races would no doubt be one of the most radical modifications in the F1's history, and it's unclear at this stage how they would be incorporated into a race weekend - if at all.

Currently, Formula 2 and Formula 3 reverse the top 10 drivers (top 12 for F3) from qualifying for the shorter sprint race, before they resume their normal starting positions for the feature race.

But what do you think? Should F1 bring in reverse grid races - and if so, in what capacity?
