I think the issue is it's currently less about strategy and more about luck...
The best case scenario for any driver is pitting for Sprint Tyres just before a safety car... it doesn't matter how good or bad your car or strategy is, if you luck that timing your probably going to end up with a result substantially better than you could of otherwise of hoped for...
Is essence does it make it any different from abandoning Qual and doing a marble draw for grid positions?
Perhaps instead of Sprint Tyres you could manipulate the compound of the tyres to create a bigger difference between a fresh tyre and an old one, while giving the teams an extra set or two of tyres a weekend... The idea being you still get the 'excitement' of car A overtaking car B because he's got fresher tyres, without the massive penalty of car B having to suffer because he happened to use his Sprint tyres in a race that had no safety cars, while car A suddenly goes from 20th to 3rd because he happened to luck into having sprint tyres available in a race full of Safety Cars....
