The emperor's new clothes

I have just witnessed the first qualifying session of 2006. M Schumacher has claimed his record equalling 65th pole position despite not having driven the fastest lap! I can understand the need to have cars on track throughout the hour from a viewer and sponsor point fo view; so I don't mind the three seperate sessions but the fuel complexities of the last part turned the event into a sham. Step back people and get your heads out of your arses......please.
