No. The cars have to do their 1st lap in massive traffic, then they pit and make adjustments. One lap to pit, make changes, and another lap to get to speed, and then the timed lap is 1:30 itself. So if they're in the pit, and there's not sufficient time to go out and do a slow lap + a timed lap, why bother? The cars don't just stay out and keep doing laps until they "get it right", it doesn't work that way. Vettel said it best - everyone knew this would be the result, but apparently someone gave it the go-ahead, so here we are.
