Flavio was almost right in his profecy of ‘para carros’ when he tease Button in the old days. F1 Gynkhana 2010 with ‘para carros’ on the track. BE CAREFUL!

yes but when to cars fighting for track position come in at the same time, pitstops make it more exiting.

Ohh, this will make Mr. M.Schumacher return on the track very tough as before he dit qualify with full tank and win several time’s running from start to finish no matter how many stop he did. It’s a barand new ball game for many. I wont to see Kobajashi driving one again. Sem he can be the man to win as hamilton must fith to be better than Button. Ohh, poor ferrari what are you capable to do this time ? Seem to me trere will be many crach at the start and also many motors will not resist the two race with good power. Ohh my red bull, are you as strong as lasrt time. Seem that the German driveres will be battling with the Brit guy.

Finaly.
May the gospel content the sacrefice of Jesus (1Corintians 5:7) iluminate our mind’s during the new year 2010, and God be with every team during the races. Rene…..

I think the preceding sentence explains it:

The following passage deleted from the 2009 regulations for 2010 confirms the decision

whoever wrote this clearly hasen’t actually read what he posted.

“Fuel may not be added to nor removed from any car eligible to take part in Q3 between the start of Q3 and the start of the race”

this says that fuel cannot be added to the cars between Q3 and the race starts. So it is the same as right now. If no fuel can be added then why the f*** would cars quallify with low fuel?? They cant fill up after Q3 so actually, its quite the contrary. All cars will quallify with a full tank of fuel so that they can last through the race.

Good news, but I guess we can expect to see cars in the garages for that much longer, with an even more last minute frantic and manic dash, and of course the inevitable irrate driver who got held up or got it all pear shaped…

nascar, irl, american and euro le mans series are all major motorsport leagues, and all have used refuelling since day 1.

a refuelling ban does remove some uncertainty, which is bad, but adds fuel economy as a real-world relevant performance driver.

I gather that the change in refuelling rules is part of Max’s cost-cutting exercise for the poorer teams as the rigs are so heavy and costly to transport. I think qualifying is just as interesting either way. I seem to remember refuelling was only re-introduced to add to the spectacle.

If drama and overtaking are the crux of the spectacle then they must institute some clearly-defined rules that reduce aero efficiency in the way that the double diffuser cleverly circumvents. Good for Ross et al for spotting the way round the rules, but that just proves that the spirit of the rules needs better definition.
