It's not big enough of a problem.
Sure, if Schumacher parks his car on an apex, go for it.
But if somebody properly bins it, they're already suffering.
My thoughts exactly.
Having said that I would not be averse to Q3 being a top 10 shootout..... each car gets one lap on their own without traffic to set their lap that decides their top 10 grid position. Bin it in the shootout you get 10th. That way we dont get this fannying around jockeying for position on the outlap which I dont like..
Whilst driver A is on his flying lap, Driver B is released for his warmup lap as soon as A starts his timed lap will make it time friendly for broadcasters, and we get to see each of the top 10 on the limit with no traffic, no excuses.
Yes under that system they would lose one of their runs in Q3. So what. Its puts more pressure on the drivers to make their one shootout lap count.
The only real problem would be if weather affected the top ten with the track either drying or getting worse whilst the driver waits his turn. But that to me is a case of shit happens. No real difference to a yellow flag disrupting your final run. Roundabouts and swings.
A bit like we have in V8SC at say Bathurst.
