If you REALLY want to sort out qualifying, you have to go a bit deeper.

Here's somewhere to start:
Anyone care to walk this one through?

Here's somewhere to start:
- Spectators want to see more passing in the race.
- Qualifying reduces passing in the race. (a.k.a The top qualifier has zero opportunity to pass anyone in the race)
- Points are awarded for finishing in front of people, not for passing them.
- Starting order must be the same as qualifying order (a.k.a you cannot start ahead of your qualifying position).
Anyone care to walk this one through?
Cheers,

What I found interesting is that the promotors were given input into these new rules. I see this as a sup to the promotors giving them some tiny measure of control when in reality they have given up TV money, signage money and the paddock club money. All the promotors have left is ticket sales and thus this was Bernie's way of allowing them some minor way of ramping up the 'excitement' and hopefully increased ticket sales.
Races like Montreal, Monoco, Spa, Silverstone don't need these gimmicks but Bernie has this hope that it will screw up Merc so that Ferrari get up front more often. It's phoney BS.

The new system doesnt benefit the small teams. It will only drop a top team if the driver makes a mistake...
Q1 was intense... no questions there...
IMO the problem this system may cause is lack of sponsors to small teams.
Why would they finance a team that is always cut off in Q3?
F1 should find a way to benefit the small teams and motivate sponsors to help them financially, so they can grow close to the level as big teams (utopia).
Williams engineers should stop messing up with Massa's race....WTF was that, changing to med tires with 29 laps to go and NO MORE pit stops???????? Are they insane?
It looks like what Jean Todd did to Barrichello, when ordered him to not win the race and let Schummy take it.....
Stupid decisions.......

I don't think about Haas' relationship with Ferrari too much. It's not like they are the only team to partner with another team. Toro Rosso has Red Bull... Sauber was partnered with Ferrari... the only reason people like Williams are making noise about Haas is because they are doing so good.
I'm really happy to see Haas doing well. I was worried that they would be fighting at the back with Manor. 5th and 6th place finishes for a team's first two races in incredible.

As I said in OT, Haas applied Nascar logic to F1. Buying as much off the shelf items from another established team as possible thus reducing time fiddling with trying stuff out. They also got a good overall team package... I bet my friend 50$ that GRO gets a podium by Montreal or in Montreal.
Awesome.

I'm relieved to see they are using 2015 rules for China... but I thought I read somewhere that it's only temporary until they figure out what new method to use. :'(
