Honestly, isn't that the case at the moment? Apart from races with changing weather conditions or a DNF situation, the race is more or less decided in qualifying this year imo. There might be the odd position change now and then but with todays rules, what do they expect? Under normal conditions you have the fastest car/driver on P1, 2nd fastest on P2 while everyone runs the same strategy aso. Not much room for big changes, right? I'm watching the qualifying with more excitement than the race actually (again, this is under normal race conditions)
So, why not reward qualifying achievements and then make, say the top ten start in reversed line up... or... maybe... simply bring refueling back?
