The most important question concerning the new rules?
Will the FIA allow people to change their fuel strategies during the session. i.e If Schumacher goes quickest on Friday while Montoya goes 5th, can michael then change the amount of fuel for qualifying after he has seen Monty's time in qualifying. For eg, If Monty does a 1:20 and Michael believes he can beat the time even with an extra 5kg of fuel, can he top his car up just before he goes out. If this is allowed to happen, then Friday really does become very important.

I'd imagine they can change their strategies, the only new part is that they cant touch their cars after Saturday qualifying. (ie. cannot refuel, even for the warm up)
I'm not in favour of this no refueling thing, it just takes away the whole importance of pole position, Friday -as you said - be much more important and interesting |

Why should pole position have any importance? The race is what we want to see - who ever just tuned in and watched the qualifying and not the race? How often did the pole runner win the GP? J-P Montoya got what, 7 poles last season? Nuff said.

This is'nt the most important question in F1 qualifying? I thought this was a thread about pit babes on the Saturday.
*storms off in disgust* |
