Possible new qualifying format for the 2016 season.
Quote:
Q1 will last for 16 minutes
The slowest driver is eliminated after seven minutes
Then one will go every 90 seconds until seven drivers are out
Q2 will last for 15 minutes
The slowest driver will be eliminated after six minutes
Then one will go every 90 seconds until the end of the session
That leaves eight drivers in final qualifying.
Q3 will last for 14 minutes
The slowest driver will be eliminated after five minutes
Then one will go every 90 seconds until there are two drivers left
There will then be a final 90-second shoot-out for pole position
