Very unhappy with the reduction in practice time. Totally unnecessary.
The teams will still run exactly the same plans and total laps as before, but it will be far more busy and messy. Sure, this might be interesting at face value, but it's practice, it's not supposed to be 60 minutes of constant action.
At least with 90 minutes the teams get to spread themselves out and "take turns" as to who goes out when, giving the viewer a nice variety. With the sessions condensed, everyone will be out at the same time, and the TV cameras can only follow one car at any one time, so it will simply end up being an exercise in watching live timing, just like qualifying.
