New thread for the year because why not.

Big news first is that there will be an elimination deal happening for Q3, apparently someone gets knocked out every 90 seconds? I guess they found a job for Maldonado after all.

The remaining drivers then move on to Q2 where they must drive as quickly as they can whilst approaching a drawing of a donkey upon which they must pin a tail. Furthest from the correct spot in each turn is then sent to sit on the side of the room and watch, preferably without crying.

For the final part of qualifying, all remaining drivers must drive very quickly to find a good hiding place somewhere around the circuit. The last one to be found is the winner.

All drivers can then return to the pits for lashings of Tizer and cake.

‘Smashing!’ said Claire Williams, jauntily.
