F1 - No Refueling during races next year

[BoomItsClowgon]

What do you think about this?

Personally i think it's a good idea, it tests the driving ability of the drivers to the max and non stop racing unless they need to go in for repairs.

I suppose it will be good news for Ferrari as it's shell fuel is much more lighter than any other car on the circuit. ;)

Personally I think your spamming and should have used the F1 Thread as anyone who actually cares about these sort of things would post in there, plus anyone who is interested in F1 would have known this 8 month ago.

[BoomItsClowgon]

Class this what you want. There isn't any F1 threads apart from the Button one and the sport section is about discussing sports.. therefore, i think i'm right to post this.

Your actually spamming the thread btw. :)

Couldn't we have spoken about this when it was announced that it was banned?
Who actually cares now?

Lack of knowledge it would seem, it still won't be "None stop racing" seeing as they're still going to have to pit for tyres.

First of all it makes the pit lane a whole lot safer, there's been various issues with fuel hoses and cars going too early etc. And just a few races back, Kovalanien was released with the fuel hose still attached which toppled all over Raikonnen, which promptly ignited a fire. Luckily nothing came of it but that's hardly the point.

The main thing is it stops all these fuel strategies and people being fuelled extremely lightly during qualifying only to pit stop a few laps into the race.

A lack of reading properly it would seem. :rolleyes:

A lack of reading properly it would seem. :rolleyes:The rules demand they use two sets of tyres during a race, and even if that rule wasn't there, the tyres aren't built to sustain a full race. Therefore changing tyres is not a 'repair'.

A lack of understanding it would seem.

Ok.... :)

Ok.... :)

I laugh at how you edited your post then. Since you clearly got that all wrong. ;)

They can have as many sets as they want but they are limited to how many they can use over a grand prix weekend, (even practice sessions) but during a race they must use both compounds.

Do you even watch Formula 1?

Wow, you're about 6 months late:S

LOL. ;)

Is that the best you can do? I back him up 100% with his reply as an avid watcher of F1 since as early as I was old enough to understand it. That would be a good 11 years.

[Jam]

Well he clearly doesn't watch F1, Legard has been yabbering on about it every race this season.

[CJW93]

Speaking of Legard. Replace him with James Allen!

[StefanWolves]

Totally agree, Legard is crap.

It created so much action whenever that happened :P but you are completely right. I think it's a big step forward for both safety and overall entertainment.

Also cuts costs. F1 as of late is all about saving money. :(
