Formula 1’s governing body the FIA has formally approved the return to the 2015 qualifying format in time for this weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix.
Teams last week forced a U-turn from F1 bosses Jean Todt and Bernie Ecclestone, who had previously refused to back a return to the knock-out format.
This came after a new system proved a failure at the opening two races.
The FIA said yesterday the decision to revert to the old format had passed the phases of the legislative process.— BBC Sport
