F1 to undergo qualifying rule change for 2026 season - Lemmy.World

Wonder what led to adding an extra minute for Q3.

No word of this applying to sprints?

I more minute of screen time for sponsors on track. One less minute of boring interviews of those drivers who have been knocked out.
But most of Q3 were just waiting anyway. They go 1 lap at the beginnig, and 1 at the end. Now they wait during Q3, not before.
