Looks like it but their fastest lap on Medium is about the same as Ferrari's. Can't wait for the first race.

Q1

- 16 minutes
- After 7 minutes, slowest driver eliminated
- Slowest driver eliminated every 1 minute 30 seconds thereafter until the chequered flag
- 7 drivers eliminated, 15 progress to Q2

Q2

- 15 minutes
- After 6 minutes, slowest driver eliminated
- Slowest driver eliminated every 1 minute 30 seconds thereafter until the chequered flag
- 7 drivers eliminated, 8 progress to Q3

Q3

- 14 minutes
- Ater 5 minutes, slowest driver eliminated
- Slowest driver eliminated every 1 minute 30 seconds thereafter until the chequered flag
- 2 drivers left in final 1 minute 30 seconds

In each session, the final elimination will occur at the chequered flag, rather than when the time is up.

I like the idea for Q1 and Q2, but there's going to be so few cars out the last few minutes of Q3.

I agree. It will be weird in Q1 as it gets down to 2 cars. The end of Q1 as it is is pretty exciting.

Found times for Day 3. Looking for Day 4.

Just more area for sponsors. I know the view for the drivers are quite limited as is, but how do you see through that?

Guess it's not so bad, but how do they get out when they have to?

Better yet...it is an effing flip flop.

I admit that the execution is poor. But this kind of safety point is kinda important. There needs to be a way to protect the driver.

I don't think this is something that would follow the same breath as speed limits and police cars.

I think if they're going to do this, they might as well have an enclosed cockpit.
