I am not a fan of the new limit for tires, and the qualifying on mandated tires for a session like they did. Yea, I understand cost savings, but in F1 tip of the spear engineering, it is out of place.
I bet they could save lots more money if they gave all the drivers just two sets of tires for the entire weekend. My car tires last for many tens of thousands of miles. Just put them all on street tires with treads, and just 10 gallons of fuel for the "race" and we can all watch an economy run, max speeds of 55 MPH speed limit and watch the fans die of boredom.
The new rules certainly jumbled up the order for the qualifying. Mercedes on pole and in 20th, weird.
