Button on pole by 0.6 secs with more fuel than Vettel. just shows you its not the fuel, its the car. Fuel load doesn’t seem to matter to the Brawn GP guys.

The grid would be a reverse grid based on this years or in the case of the 1st race last years position in the drivers championship. It would give some great racing and over taking. Just look at Brisca Stock car racing the best guys still win but they have to over take the whole feild fantastic racing.The two race set up would give fans a real show on a sat I think they should have two races a sprint 1hr on a Sat and 2hr race on the sunday and forget qualifying.

Isn't that the point of racing, even F1. Use the current format and get rid of the stupid race fuel final session and have a real shoot out. Yes award an extra point, do that for fastest lap in the race as well. Can we just have qualifying which shows which car/driver is fastest? Isn’t that the point of racing, even F1.

In SuperLeague Formula all of the teams are split into two equal groups for separate 15 minute qualifying sessions. From these sessions four cars from each group will proceed to the first knock out stage which is the quarter-finals. The remaining eight cars will then race against each other in a time attack format. They will queue up in the pit lane and the first two cars will be sent out as a pair to race each other. This will be repeated three more times with the other six cars racing as pairs, the faster of the pairs making up the semi-finals. This same process of elimination is used for the semis to make the final, leaving the last two cars to thrash it out for pole. To make the race weekend even more interesting the FIA could split the race into two halves with the winners of race 1 starting at the back of the grid allowing the team that finished last in race 1 to get some points for their team. Therefore it’s not so predictable that McLaren and Ferrari will always occupy the podium, taking away the majority of points after each race.

Drivers draw lots to establish qualifying session order of running

One lap from a standing start with a brimmed tank.

You crash out during qualifying – no race for you on sunday
