I don't mind this to be honest. I think maybe the only tweak needed would be to let someone finish a lap they're on, even if the time runs out.

It's almost like the shitter teams not being able to do a good lap and being eliminated gives the people higher up the list time to get the cars ready.

Nah, this is peak F1. A rule change supposedly intended to keep more cars on track instead results in qualifying where after the mad scramble at the start it's not even worth struggling to get out there again to improve your time.
Anyone actually at risk of being eliminated doesn't have a chance in hell at getting the car back to the pits, prepped for a fresh run, back out on track, and in position for another hot lap.

Five minutes in and you're better off quietly sitting in the pit contemplating your impending doom.

Remember when the flag came out. And then Rosberg would fly across the line and take P1 and you saw Seb behind him come into the last few corners, wondering if he's going to make a mistake but no! He's perfect and goes .015 seconds ahead of him. But wait. Here comes Lewis finishing his lap? Can he do it? Can he best Vettels time?
