Robert Cox46 said:Bernie took a swing at this morning's qualifying, but he was pretty clear about one thing: going back to the old ways isn't on the table. He’s sick of seeing Mercedes sitting there in P1 and P2 because, frankly, it kills the viewership. He even floated this wild idea about slapping penalty seconds on the top drivers from the previous race during qualifying just to shake up the grid and actually make things interesting.
Look, if you ask the boss, we can kiss that old Q3 format goodbye—you know, back when Mercedes would roll onto the track and absolutely demolish everyone else in the first few minutes. But honestly? This new format hasn't done a damn thing to get Mercedes off the top step either. 🤔
Pure idiocy. Just the same old crap...
If you've got the fastest car and the fastest driver on the grid, they better dominate qualifying. It’s just common sense. ☕
Pure idiocy. Let's organize a race between a tortoise and a cheetah—but only on the condition that the tortoise wins. 🤦
The only thing that would actually make sense is a reverse grid where qualifying points count toward the standings too—just with a smaller point haul, obviously.
Let’s talk points. If we go with the 15, 12, 10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 system, and looking at how the race actually played out...
Imagine if they actually ran the race with a reversed grid—like having Lewis Hamilton starting in 22nd while Pascal Wehrlein takes pole. Pure madness. 😁
Sure, let's just make tires and fuel—both volume and flow rate—completely unlimited. Toss in unrestricted DRS and KERS usage while you're at it. Why stop there?
If they’re going to put on a circus, they might as well do it right. If we're doing a masquerade, let's at least make it look like one. 🤣
