Yes i`d like OLD 1h Qualy with NO limit of laps, but limit of just ONE tyre set.
It`s so easy - dunno why FiA made it one-by-one - like it`s Rally or smth.

The old qualifying system, without change, was and is the best.

Furthermore, the small teams benefited as they often did their laps at the beginning, when the big players remained in their garages, and thus got lots of TV coverage, much more so than they get under a single lap qualifying system…

ironically that's one of the reasons they changed quali, for small teams to get more exposure to attract sponsors.

"You just don't mess with Jacques Villeneuve" - Murray Walker, 1997 Hungarian GP.
"When Jacques was with us, he was a very aggressive driver, fiercely competitive, mentally hard as nails. Very quick with it, very gifted. A bright fellow, undoubtedly, very intelligent. He was an absolutely born racing driver - look at the way he'd bang wheels with Michael, pass people on the outside, that kind of thing" -Sir Frank Williams on Jacques Villeneuve
"This year, with BMW, JV's going very well, and I'm pleased for him. Whether or not he'll get a drive next year I don't know, but I hope he does, he's an unusual, and very strong addition to the F1 community. A character." - Sir Frank Williams again on Jacques Villeneuve
The Nojvnof1 2006 driver lineup - Jacques Villeneuve, Nico Rosberg, Christian Klein, Scott Speed.

Indeed, just another example of FIA bumbling…

Since `90s i was watching F-1 at Spring-Autumn and NBA Autumn-Spring.
And F-1 is much more cruel sport ... (sadly)
Just yesterday i realized in 50 years of F-1 there were 4 "on-track" death of Champions: Ascari, Clark, Rindt, Senna.
And i become very sad, as they may live and show us all their abilities ...
Good that Hakkinen (Aus`95) and Schum (Gbr`99) are alive, else F-1 history could be much different story with MH without wins at all, and MS 2-times WDC (mostly of AS death) ...
Who could be 2+times WDC in 98-2004 if MH and MS died ?
DC, JV, RB, else ? maybe RS, JPM, KR could be 1-time WDC already ...
Does anybody wants it .?.

This is pointless speculation.  However, I shall make one brief point.  F1 would have been very different if Ayrton Senna had not died.  I suspect that he would have retired in 1999 or 2000 and would have certainly won more titles, races, poles and fastest laps etc than he has to name.  Senna only raced in 10 full seasons of F1 and only contested 162 Grand Prix.  In contrast Michael Schumacher has already contested 232 Grand Prix.  Would Jacques Villeneuve have been a Williams driver in 1996 if Ayrton had not died, would Michael Schumacher be a seven times world champion if Ayrton had not died, probably not is the answer.

I think AS could live Williams after 1997 WDC and to rest as Prost,
or else AS could switch to McLaren again and win 98-99 too,
or at least in 1994-97-99 - AS can w/o doubt be in Top-3 every season.

I just wonder who can be 2-time WDC if MH and MS died or have bad health (as Zanardi, etc)
Who are best drivers in 96-2005 ten yesrs ?
I think: DC, RB, JV are Top-3 in 96-00, and JPM, KR, FA are Top-3 in 2001-05.
