Fuel loads to be made public.

[Marcia]

The weights of all the cars are now to be made public after quali,should make it easier to work out fuel loads.

How is this going to make it more exciting and promote overtaking?

If it is know the guy in front has 2-3 laps less fuel then will a driver not be happy to follow him round until he pits and then nail it.........

What a loadf of bks, the FIA are f'in clueless when it comes to knowing what the fans want! I like not knowing whos got what and guessing at when they will come into the pits.

Perhaps the FIA can give us the results before the race as well.

Yes, why not. It mean more for the long distance races like Oz, China, Japan etc.

That I totally agree with.

I'm in favour of the weight/fuel loads being made public because then us fans will know.
All the teams knew what the other teams were up to last year, so this, IMHO, is good for us.

Exaclty. Keep it simple. If they want to promote overtaking, then reward overtaking directly.

Or what they used to do (and still may do) at Indianapolis. $500 per lap led. just change it to $500 per car passed on the track, none of this pitlane malarkey.

no point, why risk overtaking for one point if you can't win the championship?

[DrTre]

Thankfully this only has to last a year.

I dont mind this as much.

The teams pretty much know each others fuel loads after qualifying anyway, but often the public dont and it makes the racing more confusing to watch.
I dont think this will affect the teams choices to pit or not to pit, it will just make things a bit clearer to those watching.

The irony of Moseley calling JYS a halfwit really becomes apparent today. Not only is Mosely a self declared pervert, he has now demonstrated a complete lack of ability to think coherently in considering the sport that he so consistently damages.

I can only wonder what secrets he holds about the rest of the FIA for them to go along with him.
