What happens when someone is on a flying lap and he doesn't make it to the finish line in time? He posts a winning time but gets eliminated because of the clock? Or will he get to finish his lap? And if he doesn't get eliminated and actually kicks someone out of a top spot, what if that person still thinks he's in the competition and proceeds to post a top spot himself? Creates a lot of confusion.

If I read it correctly, this is an addition and flying laps will still count. If they didn't it would be chaos but I could be wrong.
I think that this will add a bit of race-like excitement to qualifying as well as throwing a wrench into the system for those at the sharp end of the grid relative to keeping out of last minute heroics of the slower cars.
