Or some engineer will develop a gas guzzling engine map that can use up
half a tank in the outlap or maybe an aircon option as a health & safety
gesture for the Malaysian heat which mysteriously fails starting the
first flying lap?

Seriously though I think it is agood step to return to those exciting
qualifying sessions with traffic and multiple laps without the waiting
game for the lower runners to lay the rubber down.
