Qualifying flop?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The knock out style of qualifying was not what I expected the timer was to short and this doesn\u2019t give the driver above the chance to respond and the driver above needs to respond with a minute to go. However it did mix the grid up a bit<\/p>\n

After the session it appears the sport will revert to the old format or keep the knock out format for Q1 & Q2 in Bahrain. Berine Ecclestone said: “If we go back, Mercedes would be first and second.
