I have to say I'm firmly in the camp of not doing reverse grid races to determine starting positions. It just feels too much of a gimmick and an artificial of way of trying to make the racing more interesting. It seems like a bandaid fix instead of addressing the underlying issue.
That being said, we are in a very unique situation this year. I wouldnt be opposed to them trying it this year and evaluating its effects. But only if they had no plans of introducing such changes for future seasons until we've had at least a year of the new regulations. If the new regulations work and the racing is better, then there will be no need for gimmicks like this. If they fail, then we'll have these two races to reflect upon with some data.
Remember the last time F1 tried to spice up the show with "knock out" style qualifying and how bad the result was? And lets not forget, we had plenty good races last year that worked perfectly fine with the current format.
