Without knowing all the facts, this sounds lame...
Qualy is supposed to be fair, this is not fair... someone knocked out in the first round may have qualified 3rd, now they would be what, 18th?

FOTA wants qualifying format change
Jul.30 (GMM) In the wake of BMW's shock F1 exit, the sport's remaining car manufacturers insist efforts are afoot to spice up the spectacle.
Not long after the Munich carmaker announced its decision to withdraw, FOTA secretary general Simone Perillo said work has begun to increase "the involvement of the fans" and to improve "the F1 show".
Mentioned on Wednesday was the possible introduction of a third car per team, but also rumoured is a FOTA-sponsored shake-up to the current knockout qualifying format.
It is believed FOTA's desired change would see five cars on track at a time, with the two fastest progressing to take on the next group of competitors.
