is there a good reason for using .format VS an f string?

The way im understanding '.format' is that it opperates almost identically to using the %g approach. Is there a good reason for doing this instead of usinf the inline f string approach like ive done here for my solution?

name = input("What is your name? ")
answer = input(f"Hello, {name}! Do you understand while loops? (yes/no) ")

while answer.lower() != "yes":
    print(f"OK {name}, while loops in Python repeat as long as a certain Boolean condition is met.")
    answer = input("Do you understand while loops now? (yes/no) ")

print(f"Great, {name}! I'm pleased that you understand while loops now. That was getting repetitive.")
