More detail about the tweaks to F1's knockout qualifying format for 2008 have emerged.
It was revealed in September that the F1 'Sporting Working Group' had agreed to rid the sport of the controversial fuel-burning phenomenon, chiefly by reducing the time for the 'Q3' format from 15 minutes.
La Gazzetta dello Sport now quotes Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali as revealing more about the new format, which is believed to have been recently ratified by the World Motor Sport Council.
He said Q1 will now last for "20 minutes instead of 15", while Q2 remains at 15 minutes.
"Q3 becomes 10 minutes, instead of 15," Domenicali added, explaining that
competitors will no longer be allowed to add fuel to their cars before the Grand Prix.
