The post-qualifying parc fermé indeed includes more than the amount of fuel. I never denied that.

Despite the 'low-fuel' qualifying laps will return next year, we won't see proper qualifying to return. Drivers are only allowed to change the front wing settings and the tyres. As pure speed isn't required to start from pole position, the rules are still very much against the spirit of the sport.
