Erm.

Why would they not? (Assuming they're actually a sponsor - I thought they were merely a fuel supplier)

Yeah but imagine Ferrari not being able to use them as much, i have fount out the Brawn use Mobil1 Fuel, in which i assume Force India do too. In that case then the customers of Mercedes Engines must use the same fuel as McLaren then? In that case then RB must use Shell too I assume?

They'd use the same amount of fuel, but they'd just put it all in at the start of the race.

True, I guess we will have to see what this brings; really it's shorter pit stops and more overtaking action? In which I think they are trying to create for us? But as you look in Indy? Fuel disappears so quickly; you can never predict fuel levels down to the T :scratchchin:

P.S- I love your sig :hehe: he sounded so angry, But as he said 'were in a good position' ;)

Surely they'd use slightly more, as the cars would on average be heavier than the current situation. And heavier cars require more fuel to propel them. Not a huge difference, but it will require just a bit more fuel.

You're correct. Denthul was just sating they'd still be using plenty of fuel, so Shell would have no reason to run off.
