It can ruin drivers races but nevertheless, Nico had a Stop-and-Go and managed Second


He did but that was very unusual. Normally drivers caught by pilane closure due to safety car are seriously disadvantaged through no fault of the team or themsleves. It would be easy to change this rule in many ways but i think the powers that be lke the unpredictability it creates (in the absence of genuine racing and overtakng which they discourage :rolleyes: )

Banning refuelling would make it fairer, as would simply allowing the cars to come in for fuel at any time but they must travel around at the same speed as the safety car train at all times. That way, there would be less risk of an accident.

Banning refueling would be good for the sport's image and also allow engineers to develop and/or design new technologies which would be relevant to road cars and still be exciting. The re-introduction of turbochargers, for instance.
