Ecclestone: “Saving the good side of the format”

Could the new qualifications system ultimately survive in Bahrain in a revised form, despite bad feedback from teams and drivers after the Australian session last weekend? In any case, this is what Bernie Ecclestone suggests in an interview with Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“If I had to give an opinion, I would say that we will continue with the Australian format, indicates the great financier of the discipline. I am a cautious man, and new things must be tried. The new qualification was shocking, but maybe we can save the good side of the format. »

The stables, however, seemed to have reached an agreement to return to the system seen until the end of the 2015 season, and Bernie Ecclestone himself had indicated that this modification would be possible.
