Sicela uchaze ngokufaneleka kwe-Formula 1.
Context:Ukufaneleka Emlandweni omningi walo mdlalo, izikhathi zokuhlolwa zazingafani neze nezikhathi zokuzijwayeza; abashayeli babezoba nesikhathi esisodwa noma ngaphezulu lapho bezobeka khona isikhathi sabo esisheshayo, ngokulandelana kwegridi okunqunywe yindilinga eyodwa engcono kakhulu yomshayeli ngamunye, nesivinini esisheshayo sithola indawo yokuqala kugridi, ebizwa ngokuthi isikhundla esiphezulu. Kusukela ngo-1996 kuya ku-2002, le ndlela yokudubula yayithatha ihora elilodwa. Le ndlela yaqhubeka kwaze kwaba sekupheleni kuka-2002 ngaphambi kokuba imithetho ishintshwe futhi ngoba amaqembu ayengasebenzi engxenyeni yokuqala yeseshini ukuze asebenzise izimo ezingcono ze-track kamuva.  Ama-grid ngokuvamile ayelinganiselwe ezimotweni ezingama-26 <unk> uma umjaho unemibiko eminingi, ukufaneleka kuzophinde kunqume ukuthi yimaphi abashayeli abazoqala umjaho. Ekuqaleni kwawo-1990, inani labahlanganyeli laliphezulu kakhulu kangangokuba amaqembu enza kabi kakhulu kwakudingeka angene esimisweni sangaphambi kokufaneleka, nezimoto ezisheshayo zivunyelwe ukuya esimisweni esiyinhloko sokufaneleka. Ifomethi yokufaneleka yaqala ukushintsha ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-2000, i-FIA izama ukunciphisa inani lemibuthano, inquma isikhathi esihlanganisiwe ngaphezu kwezifundo ezimbili, futhi ivumela umshayeli ngamunye umjikelezo owodwa kuphela wokufaneleka.  Uhlelo lwamanje lokufaneleka lwamukelwa ngesizini ka-2006. Eyaziwa ngokuthi "knock-out" qualifying, ihlukaniswe yaba izinkathi ezintathu, ezaziwa ngokuthi i-Q1, i-Q2, ne-Q3. Esikhathini ngasinye, abashayeli benza imijikelezo yokufaneleka ukuze bazame ukuqhubekela esigabeni esilandelayo, abashayeli abahamba kancane "bakhishwa ngaphandle" kokufaneleka (kodwa hhayi umjaho) ekupheleni kwesikhathi futhi izikhundla zabo zegridi zibekwe ngaphakathi kwezilandelayo ezinhlanu ngokusekelwe ezikhathini zabo ezinhle kakhulu. Abashayeli bavunyelwe ukwenza imijikelezo eminingi ngendlela abafisa ngayo esikhathini ngasinye. Ngemva kwenkathi ngayinye, zonke izikhathi ziyasethwa kabusha, futhi kubalelwa kuphela i-lap esheshayo yomshayeli kuleyo nkathi (ngaphandle kokwephulwa). Noma yimuphi umjikelezo obekelwe isikhathi oqale ngaphambi kokuphela kwaleso sikhathi ungaqedwa, futhi uyobalwa ekubekweni kwalowo mshayeli. Inani lezimoto ezikhishwe esigabeni ngasinye lincike enanini eliphelele lezimoto ezifakiwe emqhudelwaneni.  Njengamanje, kunemoto engu-20, i-Q1 isebenza imizuzu engu-18, futhi iqeda abashayeli abahlanu abahamba kancane. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, noma yimuphi umshayeli onomjikelezo omuhle kakhulu othatha isikhathi esingaphezu kuka-107% wesikhathi esisheshayo ku-Q1 ngeke avunyelwe ukuqala umjaho ngaphandle kwemvume evela kubaphathi. Kungenjalo, bonke abashayeli bayaqhubeka nomncintiswano nakuba bekumabi kakhulu ekuqaleni. Lo mthetho awuthinti abashayeli abaseQ2 noma eQ3. EQ2, abashayeli abangu-15 abasele banemizuzu engu-15 yokufaka esinye sezikhathi eziyishumi ezisheshayo bese beqhubekela esigabeni esilandelayo. Ekugcineni, i-Q3 ithatha imizuzu engu-12 futhi ibona abashayeli abayishumi abasele benquma izikhundla zokuqala eziyishumi. Ekuqaleni kwesizini ye-Formula 1 yango-2016, i-FIA yaqala ukusebenzisa indlela entsha yokuhlolwa, lapho abashayeli beqedwa khona njalo ngemizuzwana engu-90 ngemuva kwesikhathi esithile esedlule esigabeni ngasinye. Inhloso kwakuwukuhlanganisa izikhundla zegridi emncintiswaneni, kodwa ngenxa yokungathandwa, i-FIA yabuyela kufomethi yokufaneleka engenhla ye-Chinese GP, ngemuva kokusebenzisa ifomethi emijahweni emibili kuphela.  Imoto ngayinye inikezwa isethi eyodwa yamasondo athambile kakhulu azowasebenzisa e-Q3. Izimoto ezifanelekela i-Q3 kufanele zizibuyisele ngemuva kwe-Q3; izimoto ezingafanelekeli i-Q3 zingazisebenzisa phakathi nomjaho. Kusukela ngo-2022, bonke abashayeli banikezwa inkululeko yokukhetha isondo abazoyisebenzisa ekuqaleni kweGrand Prix, kanti eminyakeni eyedlule abashayeli kuphela abangazange bahlanganyele ku-Q3 babenenkululeko yokukhetha isondo ekuqaleni komjaho. Noma yiziphi izinhlawulo ezithinta isikhundla se-grid zisetshenziswa ekupheleni kokufaneleka. Izijeziso zegridi zingasetshenziselwa ukwephulwa kokushayela ku-Grand Prix yangaphambilini noma yamanje, noma ukushintsha igiya noma ingxenye yenjini. Uma imoto ihluleka ukuhlolwa, umshayeli ngeke akwazi ukungena emncintiswaneni kodwa uzovunyelwa ukuba aqale umjaho ngemuva kwegridi ngokubona komqondisi womjaho.  U-2021 ubone ukuhlolwa komjaho 'wokufaneleka kwe-sprint' ngoMgqibelo wempelasonto yomjaho emithathu, ngenhloso yokuhlola indlela entsha yokufaneleka.
Ukufaneleka kwahlukaniswa kwaba yizinkathi ezintathu, ezaziwa ngokuthi i-Q1, i-Q2, ne-Q3.  I-Q1 - iqhuba izimoto ezingu-20 imizuzu engu-18. Abashayeli abayisihlanu abahamba kancane bayaqedwa Q2- abashayeli abangu-15 abasele banemizuzu engu-15. abanye abashayeli abayisihlanu abahamba kancane bayaqedwa Q3 - abashayeli abangu-10 abasele banquma izikhundla zokuqala ezingu-10 emjahweni
