They claim there is no CGI but the sheer cost of designing a special nozzle on the top of the car to take the fuel line would seem prohibitive. There's no way they could have used the normal pit stop fueling inlet point.

Also, the sheer danger involved in having a pretty heavy fuel line and nozzle coming straight at your face would render it a highly dubious activity.
