Qualifying tyres could return to Formula 1 next year, with Pirelli having offered the teams the chance to bring the short-life rubber back to the sport, AUTOSPORT magazine reports.

Qualifying tyres disappeared from grand prix racing after the 1991 season, when both Pirelli and Goodyear supplied the field with very grippy rubber that performed at its peak during a single flying lap.

Hmm I've got a mix opinion on them. They do allow all the teams to get the most out of a quick tyre, to sort out who is quickest rather than using strategy/tyre management, but then if they're not used in the race then it could be seen as a waste.

Could take it further still. Give the teams the amount of tyres they can use over the whole season, to use at any session, any race as much as they want.. as long as they don't go over the allocated amount (penalty if they do). So a team could use loads of super softs in one race but have to restrict themselves later in the year.
