    Except that they’d retire with no fuel. Which kind of defeats the purpose.

    Retire in the lead with no fuel or retire with a car failure which the new teams will do anyway.

    I’d hardly call it a publicity stunt, but i can recall in NASCAR, drivers turning up for races and reiring after a couple of laps to get the prize money. I read in this weeks autosport that Mattias Ekstrom got almost $250,000 after racing in 2 NASCAR Races. The Americans give it a word, cant think of it though.

    Back to the Publicity stunt, didnt Williams run extremely low fuel runs in practice? Also i can recall EJ saying he did the same thing in Monaco to impress Sponsors.
