In the first races of 2006, there were no rule that started laps can be finished after the end of the session. All times were frozen at 0:00 and this was the final starting grid for the race.
I actually think that ruling worked because it combined with the other rule of that you started the session with the fuel you took on board for the race. So you had variance in strategy and qualifying, and in this case - everyone going hammer and tongs for the whole session.
But that was only for Q1 and Q2; Q3 had the same rule as nowadays. That was changed at the French GP to allow laps in Q1 and Q2 to be counted at the end of the session.

I don't know what it is, the cars looked so much faster back then. I assume they're faster now. The slick tires probably have a lot to do with that though.
Pretty sure this year's cars will be faster. But back then the package deal makes it believe It was miles away faster from the current era. The FOV of the camera, the noise of the engines, the smaller cars, narrower track (almost no runoff). This is what We miss

lots of factors.. 1. back then, they can load the car with fuel, and run for more laps to burn the fuel. they will start the race with what ever fuel they left in the tank. 2. there are no engine limits. if they blew it, they can replace it right away, and not concerning about penalties and blah blah.

The 2021 cars would've been faster for sure.
lots of factors..
1. back then, they can load the car with fuel, and run for more laps to burn the fuel. they will start the race with what ever fuel they left in the tank.
2. there are no engine limits. if they blew it, they can replace it right away, and not concerning about penalties and blah blah.
Until 2023
They took out the chicane this year!
It’s so sad the regulations have moved away from these incredible engines. Doesn’t everyone miss them?
Last time Alonso won the title, there was not a spanish chicanery. Guess what happens this year.
nothing
@@philippczeskleba3988 two podiums
Last time he won the title Lewis wasn’t on the grid. Speaks volumes of his ‘talent’ getting owned by a rookie 😂😂😂😂wailer all talk driver
@@AZBCDEE said 'rookie' got owned by lesser drivers. So what's your point exactly!? Also Russell says hi
There will be no Hamilton podium in Spain this year, that's for sure
Man those engines sounded good. When F1 was REAL F1...
the chicane is gone 💪🏻👍🏻
