Hi guys. I made this thread because there is one thing in f1 that I do not understand, perhaps some of you can enlighten me?
My question does not reflect who I root for in f1, it is purely an objective observation.
So here goes:
At Nürburgring on Sunday I believe Alonso did not have enough fuel to return the car to park ferme after finishing the race. This is the second time in recent years I have seen this (I cannot remember who it was last time.)
My point is, a car that does not have enough fuel to return to the pits would be 0,1-3 kg lighter than his competitors throughout the race. That sounds to me like a HUGE advantage.
I do not understand that one does not receive a penalty for this, and I do not understand why Coulthard, Brundle and Jordan does not address the issue at the BBC.
Or is it just me that are missing something?
