Not a fan, this just minimize the chance for the teams at the back to progress to Q3

Hmmm, so this means they will have to do every quali session (for instance Q3) on the same set of tires from start to end. I’m wondering if this will lead to less action during the quali. With only one set of tires, it will hurt you if you push too early in (for instance) Q3 and ruin the tires before the circuit becomes days at the end of Q3. This is probably better in Q1 and Q2 due to the harder tires, but Q3 might not lead to the desired effect.

Really cannot understand the reason for this change. If they want to change the qualifying tyre why not just designate the soft a qualifying tyre and restrict the race to two tyres with a step between them?

I kind of like it! Sustainability aside, it’s a sensible way to mix things up without messing with the beloved format.

Especially in Q1, it’ll be interesting to see the cars out there fueled for the session pumping in lap time after lap time. Should be exciting!

Interesting concept. Let’s see
