Ricciardo up for scrapping practice sessions

Daniel Ricciardo admits that he would be in favour of getting rid of F1 practice sessions if it meant adding another race.

Formula One has three practice sessions; with two taking place on Friday and finally FP3 happening on Saturday before the Qualifying.

Liberty Media have proposed plans to add another race to the weekend format to entertain the fans more and attract more viewers.

Daniel Ricciardo is in favour of the owner's idea and says that he would like less "nonsense" laps, referring to the practice sessions.

"I would prefer no practice," the soon-to-be Renault man told ESPN.

However, the Aussie has warned that the alterations should be made very carefully as the sport will be changing drastically.

"I want to be serious, it's obviously not the F1 everyone's used to so you have to be careful with two races and all this," Ricciardo explained.

Not every driver is as keen as Ricciardo, though - with Sebastian Vettel previously openly disagreeing with the proposed changes that Formula One's owners will be making.
