The Q4 proposal is not so much excitement for me but to add another element to the top 4 drivers.
But there´s obviously an entertainment factor in it in the same way we watch onboard laps of the pole man.

The game changes when you know you have only one shot of making it count.
The other drivers will also be watching so if you are first out and you nail the lap beautifully the other drivers will be affected a bit by it.

Imagine Hungary this year. Ultra close fight for pole. Seeing either Vettel or Hamilton be hundreds away from the other guy as we follow him live through the lap chasing the sectors would have been pretty special.

Instead we saw the last corner from both guys only.
