Well, qualification was a bit of a groaner. The new system is effective, in that it does create a grid that looks reasonable when in comparison to the previous system. But, it looks to be a logistical nightmare for the teams, and doesn't do a thing for the fans.
In Q3, instead of watching the back markers keep working at it and plugging away until the end of the session, hoping for a miracle or a mistake, or at least getting some laps in, they get relegated to the garage, while the front markers are already there, having done their job ages ago. A good car and driver of course will only have to do one or two laps. That's the way it was before. But, shutting back markers down early and having an empty track for the last five minutes is silly.
If they insist with sticking with this, I'd suggest a couple things. Treat the 90 second cutoffs as a chequered flag for the relevant people, so at least they can attempt to get back on the track. If they have 90 seconds until cutoff and haven't even started an outlap, they're done before they started right now. I'd also suggest having the top eight (I think that's how they're doing it, rather than top ten now) use tires from Q3 instead of Q2. At least, then, they won't sandbag Q2 and go all out in Q3, irrespective of tire choice. At least then, getting P1 might mean your tires aren't optimal for the first laps of the race, and, conversely, if you conserve tire life in Q3, you may give up a good grid position. If Mercedes and Ferrari, for instance, want to chew up their tires fighting over pole position over five hard qualifying laps, let them. If they want to save tires a bit and slip back, let them. Tire strategy is, unfortunately, part of the game; let it have some consequences in qualifying. If someone runs a bunch of laps on a new ultrasoft to get pole position and ends up running it off the cliff, let him start the race with it.
At least that might mix things up a bit more and throw a bit of uncertainly to the front of the grid. It's still a lot of playing with a system that wasn't broken. Either do something totally different, like reverse grids, or leave it alone.
