Drivers want Qualifying Changes....

According to this report from the BBC The Drivers have asked to meet with the FIA to discuss changes to the Qualifying format. What they want is the last 20 minute session to be a one lap shoot out, like last year's format.

Excellent Idea. In fact, it IS the idea I wrote to F1 Racing to suggest late last year, having seen the process work in the DTM. F1 Racing didn't print my letter, which I was obviously disappointed by, but if the format does change to this will people like it?

Just for the record, DTM have now changed to three, ten minute sessions in which the slowest cars get knocked out at the end of each session. Just like F1, except for the last session isn't run on Race fuel.

To me that is the only change F1 needs to make, I no longer want the 'one lap shoot out' final session. Just make the final session 15 minutes of low fuel, all on track qualifying - it would work.
