F1 to have FOUR qualifying sessions in 2020

#1

Post by PTRACER »

Yes, that's Q1, Q2, Q3 and then Q4. The first three sessions would see 4 cars eliminated each, with 8 cars competing in Q4. Pirelli won't be providing any extra tyres for this so they'll have to run scrubbed sets. This is an entirely unnecessary change and won't add anything IMO. I barely pay attention to Q1 and Q2 as it is.

What's qualifying?
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

Does Liberty think F1 fans are as ignorant as some hardcore NASCAR rednecks? This is a useless change.

Q1, where Williams and two others are out.

This will be like when we had HRT, Virgin and Lotus occupying 6 of the 7 spots that went out in Q1 back in 2010.

One has to assume that the hypothetical 20-year-old Liberty are targeting everything at just shot his load at this.

Twits.

But the Netflix show is apparently going well, which is what matters.

Did all the F1 fans wanted Louie to win his x-th world title? No. TONS loved it that Nico got that title. Even the F1 drivers followed Nico towards the finish in Abu Dhabi.

I was certainly up for a change in champion! As I was when Vettel, Schu etc got too dominant.

I assume you're not being serious about not being serious, so you were being serious. Off with his head!

Add Halo to the list.
