Rebecca Fox4 said:Regarding those qualifying formats, I personally preferred the previous setup where everyone just gets one clean lap and that's that, though if I'm being honest, I liked the one from two seasons ago even better...
When it comes to the old days, there isn't much to say about the competitive aspect. There were far more direct head-to-head battles between the elite drivers back then, and having a top-tier driver on your team meant everything—honestly, anyone would have walked away with the championship last year if they had been driving that Brawn GP car...
Driver safety was abysmal, particularly during the early 80s; you’d have a car slammed into a wall, the safety car would pull out onto the track, yet everyone else would just keep racing right through it, and don't even get me started on the pit lane protocols...
Even though we saw plenty of intense rivalries between the greats, they really functioned as a tight-knit community, stepping up to help one another whenever necessary, especially if someone had suffered a nasty wreck on the circuit.
A few classic battles, including this last one which remains the single most brilliant move I have ever witnessed in my life...

But how exactly is that maneuver any better than this one?

Senna had to brake incredibly hard because of a backmarker, something we've seen happen quite a bit even in this current season.😉
