Drivers support return of one-shot qualifying to address F1's traffic problems · RaceFans (www.racefans.net)

Thoughts on this?

I've always liked the idea of Q1 & Q2 knocking out more drivers, maybe 7 in each, then a one shot qualifying for the top 5/6.

I find missing most of the qualifying laps quite irritating. TV cameras cutting to the finish line and watching the last few seconds of almost everyone's lap doesn't seem like the best way to show some of the best drivers in the world driving at their limit.

I think they should trial the Formula E Duels format. It lessens the issue of changing conditions, traffic and red/yellow flags, and is very exciting to watch, especially during the actual duels.
