I worked it out in my head in about 10 minutes after reading the rules proposal. And I'm an idiot!

I thought it could be quite good. Didn't think about it in detail. But turns out (obviously) that people achieve their best lap early and call it a day.

Better to have an empty track early than at the end.

i would love to see McLaren in the top 10!

The problem is it takes 3 to 6 minutes depending on track to set a qualifying time. Eliminating drivers every 90 seconds was never going to work.

Time is counting down and the pit lane lights are still red?!

Eventually someone waves a green flag and off they go... a minute late!

Skeeter · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:24

Um, they appear to have broken it? Session is live but the red lights on!

Skeeter · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:25

Wow, that's a total farse!

Emlyn_Dewar · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:26

Jesus Christ... Is this a joke?
Can they just red flag the whole thing, and restart it?

Edit: I hope old man Herbert will come back on and tell us "red is red" again. And all these drivers should start from the pit.

Glaucus · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:28

just red flag f1, thank god v8sc is on tonight. I really hope this massive complaining keeps up and something snaps and we get real change.

Flibster · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:29

So Merc have turned up their systems to almost full. Maybe 9.5/10 - over 1/3 second clear so far.

Q3... they go to 11...

Skeeter · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:30

Kvyat, Button and Gutierrez out, possibly Vandorm too unless he can get in quickly.

Thaifood · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:31

brilliant button out again..

Emlyn_Dewar · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:31

Wow, they've really shaken this one up. Good one Bernie! You did it!

Skeeter · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:31

Hulk has about 30 seconds to get out to not be knocked out.

Flibster · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:32

Vandoorne's out.

Unless Hulkenberg gets out in the next 15 seconds or so, that's him done too.

413x · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:32

What was smr saying about mclaren splitting Ferrari?

Is it over?

Skeeter · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:32

15th knocked out. 14th out while on an in lap, 13th out while in the pits, along with 12th too. All in one go.

Dimi · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:33

7mins to go and Q2 is over?

MooMoo444 · 2 Apr 2016 at 16:33

1 car on track only with 7 mins to go, so hype
