Qualifying Changes

Formula One racing’s governing body, the FIA, has confirmed that Sunday morning qualifying is to be dropped as of this weekend’s European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in Germany.
Grid positions will now be determined by the Saturday session alone, which will continue in the same single-lap format, but with cars required to qualify in race trim. They will then be kept under parc ferme conditions until the race.
I'm glad the aggregated qualifying is over for no other reason than I am tired of being told I don't understand it.
There is a chance we can get qualifying over a few hot laps back. Also, an outside chance that we could get the pole sitter a championship point. The FIA want your opinion, go to www.fia-amd-survey2005.com.
