Horner: These qualifications are confusing

Christian Horner, Team Principal of Red Bull Racing, gave his opinion on the new qualifying format put in place from the Australian Grand Prix next weekend in Melbourne. The Briton does not really seem in favor of the implementation of this elimination system.

“Did this need to be done?” Not really. Will this change things much? Not really. Is this confusing? Yes ", commented the director of the Milton Keynes stable in The Sun. “I can understand their reasoning. They're trying to spice things up like with rain qualifying. »

This new qualifying format was criticized in the paddock, with most participants agreeing that this change was not a priority for the F1.

“I just hope we don't lose the viewers and viewers with this. The good thing about the old system was that it was easy to understand what was going on.", seemed to regret Christian Horner.
