Your opinion wanted on two exciting proposals
The Formula One teams have come up with ideas for possible 2006
qualifying formats. We would like your feedback on two particular
suggestions. Check out the key points of each below, then vote for
your preferred option at the bottom of the page.
Proposal 1:
- 60-minute session, split into two 25-minute halves with a
10-minute break.
- drivers may run as many laps as they wish, but must set a time in
each half.
- each drivers best times from the first half is added to his best
time from the second half to produce a final time to determine the
grid.
- no fuel restrictions - cars may refuel during and after the
session.
Proposal 2:
- 60-minute session.
- after 15 minutes, the five slowest cars must retire from the
session and will qualify 16th to 20th on the grid.
- after a further 15 minutes, the five cars slowest during that
period (times cannot be carried over from the first 15 minutes)
must also retire from the session. They will qualify 11th to 15th
on the grid.
- for the final 30 minutes the remaining 10 cars will compete for
first to tenth place on the grid, based on the best times set in
that period (times cannot be carried over from the first 30
minutes).
- drivers may run as many laps as they wish in each period.
- no fuel restrictions - cars may refuel during and after the
session.
