Alonso Slams "Obsolete" F1 Qualifying Despite Singapore Rule Change
Fernando Alonso criticizes the current Formula 1 qualifying format as "obsolete" and proposes a return to a single-lap system. The drivers unanimously voted to scrap the maximum lap time procedure for the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix, believing it would hinder tire preparation and cause traffic issues. Alonso argues that the current format, introduced in 2006, is no longer suitable for the modern cars with hybrid engines and other technical advancements. He suggests that a single-lap qualifying system is the only viable solution.
