Not a big F1 fan, but watch it occasionally. I struggled to understand qualifying last year but this is even more boggling. Anybody explain whats going on?

Riiight...

Session 1:
All car on track
Low fuel
No tyre restrictions
Slowest 6 cars get knocked out and take positions 22-17
At the end of the 15 mins - any car still on a fast lap - loses that time. Only completed laps count towards session 2

Session 2:
Remaining 16 cars on track
Low fuel
No tyre restrictions
Slowerst 6 cars get knocked out and take positions 11-16
At the end of the 15 mins - any car still on a fast lap - loses that time. Only completed laps count towards session 3

Session 3:
Race fuel
No tyre restrictions
Fastest lap gets pole
Every lap within 10% of their fastest lap gets a FIA allocated amount of fuel that they can put back into the car.
When the 20 mins is up you can finish the lap you are on and have it count.

Yeah, need to wait until it all pans out. I can't say I was ll that impressed with session 3. I need someone to justify the need for race fuel qualifying.

Oh, and I need quick reply back!

Errrr....makes the FIA think that they've achieved something by having the cars ar the back of the first 10 achieve slower lap times than those cars who qualified below them?

I think the Ferraris are running a bit light. It appears as though the McLaren, Renaults and Hondas have a better strategy for tomorrow.

Honda arent doing aswell as they would have hopped. Plenty of testing and lots of running today but they dont seem to have the outright speed thats needed. Renaults look heavier than the Ferraris though.

Think Kimi could be the dark horse tomorrow, plenty of sets of new tyres and any fuel load he wants at the start of the race.
 
Will be interesting to see how that qual format works on some of the smaller tracks, the traffic could be a nightmare at certain places.
 
So what if he's equalled senna's record...It's been 11 years that Schumacher has raced that Senna hasn't

Senna - 162 races - 65 poles = 40%
Schumacher - 232 races - 65 Poles = 28%

Sorry - not even in the same league of achievement

I think it will be a disaster at the likes of Monaco, San Marino and possible Indy - Not very many opportunities to pass at the best of times, let alone when there's been a stoppage in the session, with 15 runners on track within a few seconds of eachother all jostling for the best quali position!

We could see some very shaken up grids this year.

I reckon that the Renaults and the McLaren and possibly the Honda's were running heavier.

Fisichalla may engine problems - they turned the revs and mix up and performance went down. :confused: Wrong way tbh. ;)

Yeah, 7 World Championships to, aint in the same league........
 
It's a shame Button got held up on his final fast lap, his last sector was slower than it was the previous lap, otherwise he would have got Pole.
Still, at least he's up there with a car that will certainly win races this year :)
