q1 is "more fun" in the new format, q3 isn't. Wehrlein though, nice. Also the Dutch commentator needs to be fired.

I think the way to make this exciting all year long is to make it just one long rear end session for the full hour, with eliminations every 2 minutes rather than 90 seconds.

So is Wehrlein actually pretty legit or is Haryanto simply poo poo? I'm guessing a little of both

Rosberg saved a child from drowning while Lewis was cocking about in not-sponsors clothing on instagram. The good car confirmed.

Not seen, a cackling Bernie messing with the pit lane light to gently caress up all the team's calculations.

The gently caress is happening? A manor in q2?

They won't do anything about it. We'll probably get some reports about the qualifying reverting to last year's model again (honestly, we mean it this time), but when it's time for the next race (where is the next race anyway, I'm so excited about F1 right now that I don't even remember) they'll decide to give it "one more shot" because it "has potential".

If anything else happens, I will be very surprised.

Todt has already said that they won't get to vote on abandoning it on Sunday, only going to the compromise option or more tyres.

more tires doesn't work. it is inherently broken because there is not nearly enough time between eliminations.

Wicka is right.

they are doing these laps on super-softs and a single lap's worth of fuel. the gap between eliminations needs to be long enough so you can do a lap, pit for tires and fuel, then do a second lap. but refueling takes forever since they have to do it in the garage now. so it'd have to be like five minutes to make this work. and now it's a two hour qualifying session.
