Personally didn’t enjoy the new format, it felt a bit to bitty not helped by the red flag and changeable conditions in Group 1 Q1. A 10 minute session where the first 5 minutes are essentially meaningless with tyre warm ups/crossovers seems a waste of time. Also found it extremely unfair on those that didn’t make the cut out of group 1 as they qualified in the damp and those in group 2 didn’t. The difference in starting 13th or 20th is quite significant.
However it probably served it’s purpose by jumbling up the grid a little and adding abit of extra pressure on teams/drivers.
