Claire Williams has urged F1 bosses to relax and take their time as they look to change qualifying for next season.
This year’s disastrous debacle, which saw a new system brought in and then scrapped immediately, has caused the series much embarrassment.
It is likely the system will change again but Williams thinks it should be carefully considered before 2017.
"It will give us a period of stability during which time we can sit down to properly analyse what a potentially new 2017 qualifying system could look like," said the Williams boss.
"We have to look at a race weekend with a declining audience coming to watch live and turning on their televisions.
"We have to look at what we are putting on, at the track and away from the track, to make sure we are retaining the audience and attracting a new generation of fans.
