Fernando Alonso reckons that front-running Formula 1 teams will find"only things to lose" in the revised sprint race format to be debuted at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.The new sprint format, which will leave a sole practice session over the weekend as Saturday's sessions have been switched to sprint qualifying and race sessions, will be put to the test for the first time in Baku before being used in five more races this year.
