Absurd.

What is the point of it? All the new teams are under 107% no? So it doesn't matter anyway.

Generally the Lotus and Virgins are well within the 107% and Hispania hanging around the fringes but slowly getting within that more comfortably.

I've taken a quick look at it comparing the new teams' qualifying efforts against the pole (though it might be fairer to do it as compared to the fastest Q1 time as some tracks do pick up grip over qualifying). Hispania would have both cars DNQing in Bahrain, Australia (both understandable considering their problems) and Spain.
Lucas di Grassi would also have failed to qualify in Australia and Karun Chandhok would also have DNQ'd in Monaco.

In Malaysia neither Bruno Senna or Lucas di Grassi reached the 107% in qualifying but could have pointed the variable wet conditions and to their practice times as demonstrating the necessary speed.
Chandhok in Canada and Fernando Alonso in Monaco had car problems that effectively stopped them from qualifying so both would have to go through on being fast enough in practice.
