first major in which he finished a respectable 30th. This

Drivers, team bosses and pundits have called for F1s new qualifying format to be scrapped immediately after its disastrous introduction at the Australian GP on Saturday. The FIA announced the radical shake-up in a bid to introduce more unpredictability into the race weekends just three weeks ago, but Sky Sports News understands that the new format could be scrapped as early as Monday.Drivers were eliminated every 90 seconds in Q1, Q2 and Q3 but while it provided excitement early on, the final few minutes of qualifying saw drivers sitting in the pits and standing on weighing scales as Lewis Hamilton secured pole position. Sky F1 pundit Martin Brundle said: I dont like it, its not acceptable and its got to change. It doesnt work and it has to go before Bahrain. Sky Sports F1s Martin Brundle and David Croft give their damning verdict on the new F1 qualifying format which resulted in no action for the last four min We need to find some other ways to liven up Sunday. It needs putting in the skip.Conclusions from qualifying for the Australian GPMercedes boss Toto Wolff described the new format as rubbish while Sky F1s Johnny Herbert said the anti-climax finish had been embarrassing. A scathing Christian Horner added: First of all, we should apologise. The intentions were well meant but we have got it wrong. We need to address it immediately. What we saw today wasnt good for Formula 1. We gave it a go, but it didnt work and lets sort it out for Bahrain.Sky F1 commentator David Croft argued the revamp had the potential to be a thoroughly exciting format but would need tinkering to prove a success. Qualifying report Lewis Hamilton dominates in Australia to take pole In a sporting context you could argue that was pretty much a disaster, he said.The first few minutes of each session saw all the cars remaining fighting for a quick time to avoid being in the drop-out zone, with Daniil Kvyat the first high-profile casualty in Q1.But as the afternoon progressed at Albert Park the sight of drivers sitting in the pits rather than trying to better their time became an all-too familiar occurrence as the teams struggled to find the time to change tyres and then get them out on a flying lap.I dont understand why all the people are so surprised now. It was clear what was going to happen, there were plenty of engineers and other brains that, basically, had sort of predicted what would happen, said Ferraris Sebastian Vettel. Its definitely the wrong way to go. Head of Mercedes Motorsport Toto Wolff said the new qualifying format is rubbish, and thinks discussions will take place over reverting to last years form It always looked like Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen would be the final four but with minutes remaining in Q3 the Ferrari team made the call not send their drivers out again. As a result, Hamilton effectively secured pole position with five minutes of Q3 still on the clock.The crescendo was the guy getting out of the car, complained Damon Hill. Hamilton could have waved his own chequered flag for pole with four minutes still to go.The fact that many cars were eliminated while they were midway through an, often quick, lap was also criticised. McLarens Jenson Button thinks that the new qualification system hasnt changed anything but thinks the team are starting the season in a better position. The hour of qualifying is not long enough, Brundle added. If they dont go back to old system, they at least have to delay the time when youre getting thrown out and shorten it from 90 seconds so people can get out there and get their laps done.How did the fans know what was going on?Sky Sports News HQs Craig Slater said that there was a unanimous desire among both the team bosses and the drivers themselves and other power brokers within the sport to get qualifying changed before the Bahrain GP.There will be some kind of meeting on Monday of the strategy group, perhaps via fax or email. The Formula 1 commission can vote on it via those means.It does need to be unanimous at this stage for the rules to be changed during the season itself but I understand that will happen, and well get back to something like last seasons format in time for the second race of the championship.

They can become legendary anytime. No, this is my last shot in 2016 to become the first writer to ever pick the top-25 finishers in order of a major championship.Im probably the only idiot who would attempt such a thing, but why should that ruin the fun of trying? Note to the big bosses; if/when I do hit all 25 (as I expect to this week), Ill be expecting a Powerball-esque bonus check and a statue on the Bristol campus.Just sayin ... Enjoy!25. Wyatt Worthington IIThis guy fits everything I dream about for a movie. How about this for a résumé: He gets a lesson from Tiger Woods in 2001, was a former caddie at Seminole GC, is now a PGA Professional trying to get a shot on the PGA Tour. Wyatt will become only the second African-American club pro to make it through qualifying and play in the PGA Championship when he tees it up on Thursday.24. Andrew JohnstonBeef comes in off an eighth-place finish at The Open and with a new Arbys endorsement deal. Betcha I know where hes eating this week. Next week, Arbys new slogan will be, Arbys ... we have a top-25 finisher whos one of the meats!23. Louis OosthuizenI know he missed the cut at The Open, but in Louis case, I can honestly say he got the bad side of the weather draw. Worst-case scenario for him is he misses the cut and makes a hole-in-one. That would give him three aces in the four majors this year.22. Vaughn TaylorSpoke earlier in the week with his caddie, who told me the Ninja has been striping it for the past two weeks and a great finish was coming this week. I dont know about you, but when the man who stands next to the man gives off that kind of confidence, you better take it to heart.21. Bill HaasThis may be the worst Haas could finish this week judging the way he has played in two of his past three starts. Since March, he has missed two cuts and this year in 16 starts he has nine top-25 finishes.20. Jason DaySome might be surprised Id put the No. 1 player in the world here, but I believe Day will be the most affected by playing three weeks in a row, especially in this heat. Hopefully hell stay hydrated enough, but Im nervous about him cramping up this week.19. Kevin KisnerSneaky power will help Kisner on a course thats more than 7,400 yards on the scorecard. This is his second PGA Championship and will be his second-best finish in a major after his T-12 at the 2015 U.S. Open.18. Thomas PietersPlaying in his first PGA Championship, the big hitting Belgian ranks 30th in the Race to Dubai. The Open was his first major in which he finished a respectable 30th. This week hell be even more comfortable on this stage.17. Martin KaymerKaymer hasnt missed a cut since Tampa in March, but he also hasnt played amazing, either. With the Ryder Cup approaching, I do feel like he has a solid tournament in him to make a pitch to be on the team at Hazeltine.16. Jason DufnerResurgence? Not sure thats what Id call it. Maybe just a lost love found. Since missing the cut at the Masters, Duff hasnt been weekend free. A good showing at the U.S. Open and a great showing for his draw at the Open bodes well for this week.15. Tony FinauWhile his win in Puerto Rico was well deserved, it didnt open the floodgates for immediate success. Steady play has occurred, though. Pair that with his 10th-place finish in last years PGA and the expectation of this finish should be justified.14. Harold Varner IIIDont tell HV3 hes the only African-American golfer playing on the PGA Tour right now. Hes just a golfer trying to win golf tournaments. Playing in his first PGAA, this will be a great step in the right direction to try to? win majors as well.dddddddddddd13. Jordan SpiethTheres so much pressure he has not only put on himself, but the media has put on him after the year he had in 2015. It wasnt fair. Through all of it he still has two wins in 2016 and this will be his second-best finish in a major this year.12. Patrick ReedIf I told you his 12th-place finish at The Open this year was his best finish ever in a major, would you call me a liar? Youd have to apologize to me after. In his previous two PGAs, 58th and 30th were the best he could squeeze out. This week is different.11. Brandt SnedekerFifth on the FedEx Cup standings this year, my buddy who walked every hole with him last week said he should have won by at least 4 strokes. That Sunday loss in Canada will keep him hungry enough to finish solid this major week.10. Matt KucharLosing might suck but earning more than $3.1 million in 20 starts sure doesnt. One missed cut, nine top-10s, including three third-place finishes, is earning some cash. A top-10 this week will only add to that total.9. Bubba WatsonBubba looks jumpy and nervous around the crowds this week. Little things might just set him off ... and thats exactly where he needs to be to finish well this week.8. Keegan BradleyBradley is grinding. Thats good; hes got that look. Its a cross between hunger and panic. He needs it, too, because hes 119th in the FedEx Cup standings. With caddie Chad Reynolds again on the bag this week, a good finish is in the cards.7. Adam ScottYou already know he doesnt play a bunch, but that should tell you that when he does play, he has to make the most of it. In 15 starts this year, Scott has two wins, two runner-ups and no missed cuts. Id say Scott is making the most of every start. That being said, this will be his first top-10 in a major this year.6. Lee WestwoodWe dont get to see much of Westwood anymore since he has gone back to playing the European Tour and living in London. His game remains solid and even without a victory this year, hes eighth in that tours Race to Dubai. His runner-up finish at the Masters this year will remain his best finish in a major, but this isnt too bad either.5. Sergio GarciaWhile Garcia hasnt missed a PGA Championship since 99, he hasnt had a top-10 finish since 08. Last time we were here, Garcia finished T-23, but this year is different. Garcias past four starts? Win (Byron Nelson), T-5, T-5, T-5. Of course I was going to put him here.4. Dustin JohnsonNo missed cuts, two finishes outside the top 25 and 12 (count em, 12) top-10s is how the world No. 2 player comes into this week. If you know of someone playing more consistently good golf this year, let me know.3. Henrik StensonGolf is about ebb and flow. Right now Stenson is flowing like a flash flood. If theres one man playing right now who I think could back up a major win, its the Iceman. His swing and demeanor are perfect for majors this close together. How good is his caddie without cigarettes? Were going to find out.2. Steve StrickerIts seems like every major an old guy makes a run. Stricker turned 49 earlier this year and earned a runner-up finish the week before the U.S. Open and placed fourth at The Open. Maybe 49 is the new 29?1. Rory McIlroyHe has two Wanamaker trophies already while the other five guys to win in the past seven years were all first-time major winners. Maybe after this week people will stop asking, Whats wrong with your game? ' ' '
