I guess if there's no 3rd car, they'll save enough cash to afford the cost of swapping in/out friday motors... but it still seems a little silly.

F1 should ditch the 2 weekend motor rule and just start Parc Ferme Saturday morning. One motor has to last Saturday practice, qualy, and race.

Maybe have a 110% rule on Sat practice where your installation lap has to be within 110% of the fastest Sat lap or you're penalized grid spots after qually just to make sure people get out there on Sat. Also, that means if everyone lolly-gags on Sat, one last minute lap by Alonso could really mix up the standings.
