F1 Fanatic

Well at least the GP2 race was a bit more exciting that the following GP3 race, which had literally zero overtakes.

splitting quali is ridiculous. You get almost the same thing in f1, except in gp2 the cars are much closer together! In f1 there are often massive gaps from front 2 back, but not in gp2. For something thats […]

I don’t understand how on the official GP2 website they say:

Following a ballot which took place today

when I was made aware of this after reading a story somewhere about a week ago (sorry, I was going to post […]

If they’re going with split qualy, they could have at least made it a bit more fair. Maybe the faster half of each group would advance, and the fastest half would then have a fight for pole…

Looks like they’re doing it how @mildertduck suggested, so the fastest overall takes pole, second place goes to the quickest in the slower group, third goes to second place in the faster group etc.

I wonder if rearranging the grid lines so they are two by two, and having one group qualifying for inside and one for outside, giving the best line to the group with the fastest time might be fairer – I think they […]

That’s if they even get to bed the night before!

I actually hope one group is clearly hugely disadvantaged by the track massively improving or weather conditions- then they might not be stupid enough to ever do it again.

It does seem incredibly unfair and could potentially lead to a lot of complaints/issues.

Here’s the plan for the session. Looks like they’ll just combine all the times at the end of it, they haven’t said the grid will be assembled any other way:

For the first time in GP2 Series’ history, the […]

GP3 are also splitting qualifying, no surprise there, with the number of over excited teenagers.

I see the Renault 3.5 World Series has split qualifying too, and a bit longer (25mins each) according to the Monaco event timetable on Formula1.com. Have they also had trouble here in the past?

With just half […]

I don’t think anything is fair in Monaco….

You take your chances and do your best, the rest is somehow up to fate.

Yes this split is unfair, but so was the amount of red flags in last year’s session.
