There's a way for the FIA to sort all of this, fixed time slots. Every driver does two runs in Q3, has a timeslot and fixed lap time to get round the track before their qualifying lap begins based on their Q2 finishing position. They don't make it, they lose their Q3 run.
Or you just give a minimum lap time or face a 3 lap penalty and you stop it all.
