New qualifying has been dropped. It's going back to last year's format.

Bottas has 5 place grid penalty for a gearbox change.

edit: loving Horner he's saying "Todt and Bernie should take charge and take the decisions out of the hands of the teams" but this new quali thing was entirely Bernie and Todt's idea according to Niki.

Damon Hill sees through his bullshit and is ranting at Horner.

Quali reverting to last year's system from Bahrain onwards. I'm surprised they went with this and didn't come up with any dumb ways to "improve" the knockout system.

I think you are forgetting about the red bull effect there. Young max is really funny and likeable in some interviews, just wait till he leaves and then pass judgement.

Eeeeh. Sure its a pipe dream to think that the engine manufacturers would turn around and go "gently caress it, lets make some v12 thunderers and be damned with the cost, we're going to make the craziest motherfucking spectacle on Earth." But its nice to hope. Sure its unlikely as hell that that sort of thing can happen, but then consider that the America's cup exists.

if the Manufacturers leave and we go back to V12s then there will be 4 teams on the grid and Red Bull will be the only major sponsor in the sport.
