Lucky? Why shouldn't be the faster ones to qualify more often at the front? Last year, we had already one lap qualifying and the Ferraris were usually in front. Were they lucky and not the best ones? We haven't yet seen the potential of this rules and people want already to change them...
With the exact words of david coulthard I could say:
"one lap per driver spanned out over an hour wil never work because of the changing conditions."
It just wont work, no matter how idiotic a system Mosley will change it to next year, his one lap qualifying will never work. The track gets better as the qualifying progresses, by 5-6 tenths of a second. This is why in the old format they didn't come out in the first 20 minutes, apart from minardi. This too could be solved by making them run a lap on the first fifteen minutes, which, incidentally, was what coulthard said too. The first intelligent comment he has made in the last six years, instead of the ususal "I'm as good as kimi" and "this is my year", comments.
