Sergio Perez says the F1 drivers are against the new elimination-style qualifying format that is set to debut in the sport this season.

Following meetings of the Strategy Group and F1 Commission, it was announced that a new system to decide the grid would be brought in for 2016.

Q1 would see seven drivers eliminated one at a time after 90 second intervals, with the same number dropping out in Q2, deciding the grid positions from nine to 22.

The top eight would then move on to Q3, with drivers dropping out every 90 seconds until just two remained to battle it out for pole position.

Bernie Ecclestone recently said the new format would be delayed to the Spanish Grand Prix due to problems implementing the software required to run it, but recent reports say part of the system could appear in Australia.

Following a meeting between the FIA and team bosses on Tuesday, motorsport’s governing body then met with drivers on Wednesday at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after day two of the second winter test.

The new qualifying format was discussed, with Sergio Perez telling Sky Sports News those in attendance were against the idea and feel it could over-complicate things for fans.

"We [the drivers] are obviously not very happy with the new plans they want to implement," he said. "Let's see if they can change it.

"We felt that it could be very complicated for the fans to understand – it's complicated for us already. We also felt that qualifying is really good at the moment and there is no reason to change that."
