F1 News - What?? Refueling Ban for 2010
So now you can't refuel the car during a race in 2010.
Fuel loads have been such a big part of F1 strategy. I am not sure how much I like this. Pretty soon, there won't be any strategy left....

I guess this will put some pit crew guys out of a job. Just seems like a bad, politically driven decision that won't really help that much.
And why ban tire blankets??? Things are getting crazy.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
At last there will be no more "oh, I overtook you by stopping 3 laps later and leaving the pit lane half a second more quickly, take that, that's how extreme I am".
More driving prowess, less pit lane brain work strategy.
This is excellent.
Now if they could only ban radio communications it would be a real sport again.

I agree this will actually finally be able to be called racing now. What a concept that passing will take place ON THE TRACK and not in the pit lane, GENIOUS...

So are the races going to be shorter? I think part of the reason I don't follow F1 very closely is because the race takes so long and pit stops. MotoGP has been run without stops for a long time and it makes a great race from flag to flag. Zorro, I think you would really enjoy watching a MotoGP or WSBK race. No comm, no stops, just hard racing from flag to flag.
