Refuelling to return in 2017

[sobriety]

WEC Open whell, only less restricted, and if they're having refuelling then the races should be longer.

Cracking article, I've been curious if there was a person at this Strategy Group meeting, sat in the room but not at the table, call them "observing" & maybe had this logo on this shirt, to assist in any $ decision making?

Well it's looking like refuelling won't be returning after all.

Good!

A key piece of damning evidence was that in 2010, the year after refuelling was last banned, there were twice as many overtaking moves on track as in the previous year.

Hmm...

Where did they get that stat from?

 

[Brogan]

I suspect they used the Mercedes data.

Pittpass are saying that the teams are about to reject calls for refuelling to be re-introduced.

 

[Il_leone]

thank heavens refuelling has been rejected

That would have made F1 more unappealing with everyone waiting for pit stops

i never understood why refueling even considering its goes against the entire principle of the new engines, as didnt car companies like renault want more fuel efficient engines that also can be transferable to road cars. it would be more dangerous & ramp already unsustainable costs higher

Thank God for that.
