This is just plain stupidity.  Trash this qualifying system, bring back previous system, far better at any terms. But what a flying pace with 2016 cars, fastest lap 1:23.837 Here are fastest laps of whole weekend of Australian GP past years. 2010 Q3 1:23.919 V8 2011 Q3 1:23.529 V8 2012 Q3 1:24.922 V8 2013 FP2 1:25.908 V8 2014 FP3 1:29.375 V6 Turbo 2015 Q3 1:26.327 V6 Turbo 2016 Q3 1:23.837 V6 Turbo |

Well that was an absolute shit show that was telegraphed as soon as they announced these rules. Any bozo could see that that was going to happen. |

Horrible qualifying setup! 4 almost 5 minutes left and they've given up already. No excitement or suspense. |

I have woken up early to see 22 drivers doing a lap and then not giving a damn after that. Gone last minute excitement, hardly any car on track after the initial 5 minutes of a session, just a bunch of guys accepting their faith without wanting to fight for it. |

You guys aren't getting the time back you spent watching that farce I accidentally woke up my wife (who's now quite pissed off), kids were screaming when daddy was watching something stupid from TV instead of putting the kids shows on and the qualifying was devastatingly awful. And Mercedes is predictably far ahead. Oh the joy! |

Q1 and Q2 were entertaining in my opinion. Just to see teams go full retard was fun to see. Q3 was weird. A one lap shoot out for the top 10 would be more fun. They wanted unpredictability? They got the exact opposite and then some. Just give only two sets of ultra softs, one set for practise and one to get a flying lap in Qualifying. That's it. |

The trackside commentators tried to rev up the crowd saying "here's the battle we've been waiting for!!! Hamilton vs Vettel!!! It's going to be crazy! Then it cut to Vettel climbing out of his car. I'd be pissed. I'm just up at 3 AM on my couch. You guys paid good money to get in. HAAS got screwed and Ferrari rolled over and played dead. Ham was just as smug as ever. But, TimeLife Soul of the 70s almost makes up for it, lol. (These are like a staple of late night TV over here) |

I'm impressed that F1 conjured up a new format that is worse, by some margin, than 2005's aggregate qualifying. |

If there's something good in this system, I've never been so agitated after the qualifying. At least this will be one of those memorable F1 moments. Too bad it's, once again, a negative memory. F1, you're mentally ill and need quick therapy. |
