Hembery: “It would be risky to return to 2015 qualifying”

If the fresh news of the return to the 2015 format of the qualifications made the Circus stables jubilant, the team did not appear so euphoric Pirelli according to which there was a reason why it was decided to move to a different system.

“It's good to remember that in previous years we complained because the top teams, Ferrari and Mercedes above all, did just one run in Q1 and Q2 with the aim of conserving the tires for the race, thus emerging even more advantaged having an extra set available” – the opinion of motorsport manager Paul Hembery at f1i.com.

“Among other things, precisely because of the race, despite the addition of an additional set for Q3, numerous tires remained unused, which is absurd. I hope that teams and the FIA ​​will soon sit around a table to discuss an alternative formula for 2017” – the British rider's opinion.
