I have been watching F1 for over 30 years and seen many different versions of qualifying including aggregates times over 2 sessions, single laps and the various types of elimination qualfying. They have all resulted in the fastest cars at the front of the grid and the slowest cars at the back of the grid. Occassionally cars would be out of place due to poor driving, bad timing or the weather. The latest proposal(s) will not make any difference.

If the desire of qualifying is to shake up the grid and have on track action, i have the following suggestion (may already have been suggested previously)

Rather than cars running around individually trying to set a time, let's have a qualifying race on Saturday. Grid is reverse championship order with a rolling start. Duration is 30 to 45 minutes. Grid for sunday is the result of the race. For qualifying washouts, start race in reverse championship order.

This satisfies the cars on track requirement, is likely to mix up the grid and create greater action on both saturday and sunday.

I support this proposal. Hopefully that is what BE has in mind.

If these first two races have shown anything it's that the grids do not need 'mixing up'.

These first two races showed that battle for podium places is going to happen only if Mercedes have been overtaken at the start.

 

And  current Q sucks and needs to be changed.

Please stop starting so many new threads and polls based on each new rumour or idea you've had to fix quali, folks. They just end up spreading the same discussion across all the threads.
