LONDON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Formula One will switch to a three-phase knockout qualifying system next season after a meeting of the Formula One Commission on Monday.

Five cars will drop out after a first 15-minute session and another five after a second stint. The remaining 10 will then fight for pole in a 20-minute final session.

A spokesman for the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) said the measures had been approved at a meeting of the Commission which includes all 10 teams.

Qualifying has been a subject of debate since the single-lap format was introduced at the end of 2002 to replace the previous free-for-all session.

The current system, with each car running alone against the clock, has been much criticised by teams and broadcasters.

Sunday qualifying was introduced this year and then abandoned after six races following protests.

A FIA proposal for a radical new rear wing concept, designed to facilitate overtaking, also won the support of teams for 2007 subject to further input from their technical directors.

The Centreline Downwash Generating (CDG) Wing, formulated with the help of the FIA's technology partner AMD, would eliminate the current single rear wing and replace it with two box-like wings, one behind each rear wheel.
