Claire Williams has said that she thinks Formula 1 has learned from the 'musical chairs' qualifying debacle.

F1's governing body announced on Monday that the World Motor Sport Council rubber-stamped by 'e-vote' the decision to revert to the 2015 format ahead of this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix.

Williams, the Grove team's deputy, suggested that the episode has been both good and bad for the sport.

"You don't want to play out scenarios like that in the public arena," she said.

"[But] I do think we have learned that we need to take more time to consider the proposals that come to us."

Williams sit fourth in the table with 20 points after the first two races of the season.
