I liked refuelling. Another dimension, a chance to try different strategies. It was better.

I liked refueling and all its unpredictability. However, now that it's gone I didn't really miss it that much. It's a different season with different variables - it is what it is.

There wasn't any real unpredictibility in it on most circuits where the strategy was a boring old one stopper. It was good when the Brabham team did it in the early 80's and other cars like the Ferraris and Renaults didn't.

Personally, I think it could be better if they brought refuelling back but made it optional rather than mandatory...


absolutely yes :yes::yes::yes:

The teams would have to choose between going the whole race non-stop or making a 30 second pit stop.

My ideal race would be...............run on whatever fuel strategy,use whatever tires you wish,even if willing to risk it on one set of primes on a full tank.two sets of softs on half tanks,whatever the team chooses.
This would bring out more driver abilities than that of the car!

Im for the ban to remain but make the tyre rules back to what they were in the early 90's. ie you have to choose your compound at the start of the race weekend and you have to stick to it. Options or Primes. That way the driver will have to make a judgement call during the race on whether to stop or not. And a judgement on whether the advantage from options is worth the couple of stops needed.
