Reverse Grids

Martin Brundle was going on and on during the race about reverse grids. I think they are a bad idea because then you have teams trying to set the slowest lap to get to the front. Even worse, qualifying might devolve into a ****show like elimination qualifying (remember that?) where everyone just sits in the garage and refuses to go out because any time set would automatically be the fastest.

I think it could work with one major modification. Run qualifying exactly like it is run now. The difference is that when qualifying is over, spin a roulette wheel or some other random event where there is a 25% chance of a reverse grid. Any higher, and some teams will opt to sit in the garage for all of qualifying and take their chances (Williams would probably do it for the rest of the season). I think it would be enough to keep teams on their toes AND not mess up qualifying too much.
