The FOTA's new idea does seem rather gimmicky but it could turn out to be quite interesting. It does sound like they would basically be racing each other though. IMHO to have more than one F1 race in a meeting would devalue them somewhat. Works fine in GP2, WTCC and the like, but not for F1...

I say keep the three qualifying phases, scrap the fuel nonsense and introduce compound times.
In Q1, the 16 quickest go to Q2.
In Q2, the 8 quickest Q1+Q2 go to Q3.
In Q3, the final top-8 grid is decided by Q1+Q2+Q3 time.
This means an elimination shootout with everybody trying to set the quickest possible lap in each phase.
