MANAMA: Formula One stakeholders failed to agree a fix for the sport's failed new qualifying format at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday and agreed to talk again next Thursday to try and reach a deal.

"No decision has been made we haven't reached the conclusions on how we want to continue yet" said Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff after an hour and a half long meeting at the Sakhir circuit.

Team bosses said various new formats were discussed as well as staying with the current one but there would be no going back to 2015 qualifying because both the governing FIA and commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone were opposed.
