Preliminary contest of F1″Knockout method”

Ten machines that remain in the preliminary contest can advance to the main line race in the F1 race.
The one “Knockout method” has been introduced in the qualifying race now.
The knockout method is a preliminary contest method newly introduced from the F1 race in 2006.
The qualifying race is played ,divided into three portions, it drops out to a slow machine at time by the first round, and the machine that finally remains can enter the race of the third round.
The pole position of the final race will be decided by the order of the race of the third round.
In the preliminary contest before the method of the knockout, after running many times and ascertaining the situation of the road it, the machine that put out the best time even once remained in the final race.
The team with the experience of adequately judging the road surface condition was more advantageous.
It is not possible to take time to confirm the situation of the machine and the road by the knockout method.
It is necessary to put out the best time in a short round, and a small mistake becomes fatal.
It is prohibited to refuel the machine that entered within 10th place in the preliminary contest after the preliminary contest ends though little one of the gasoline is advantageous. (As for the amount used in the last 20 minutes, it is next use OK. )｡It is an important point to count the fuel gauge aiming at the final race.
The driver comes to always fight in the tension, and will be able to say that a far severer race compared with the current preliminary contest.
However, I am glad judging from the watched side, to be able to see thrilling race development from the preliminary contest and to taste an excitement different from the final race.
