Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton believes format changes could help liven up Formula One race weekends.
The Mercedes driver triumphed at last weekend's Russian Grand Prix to move to the brink of a second successive drivers' championship.
But the start of the grand prix weekend offered little to satisfy the crowds in Sochi, with running in Friday practice hampered by a diesel spillage and persistent rain.
Hamilton said: "I'm sure it was [boring] for whoever tuned in - and if they did tune in and nothing happened. And for you guys and for us, the mechanics, engineers, it's dull,
"It's one day less of Formula 1 driving for me in my life, so trust me I'm not happy about it. I count every day as a real blessing and when you don't get to utilise it, it sucks."
It was announced earlier in the year by the FIA that several "exciting and innovative changes to the qualifying and race weekend formats" had been discussed ahead of 2016. A Saturday sprint race is thought to be under consideration by the sport's governing body.
And asked about the potential for a format change, Hamilton added: "Qualifying might have changed a little bit, but generally the format's been exactly the same.
"I think it would be kind of neat if one weekend's going to be 'super weekend' and then the next weekend's going to be something different, it's going to be alternated grid positions, I don't know.
"But it would be neat if, each weekend, you knew you were not going to do the same thing.
"I think that would be pretty cool. But I don't think it's ever going to happen."
