I read in formula1.com FIA rules & regulations:
"In the first two 15-minute sessions, cars may run any fuel load and drivers knocked out after those sessions may refuel ahead of the race. However, the top-ten drivers must begin the final 20-minute session with the fuel load on which they plan to start the race. The amount of fuel they use in that 20 minutes, as calculated by the FIA, may then be replaced prior to the race".
Does enyone know: How does the FIA calculate the amount of fuel to be replaced? The cars are not simply weighted before and after the third session to get the amount of fuel used!
