The 2010 F1 gets
underway this weekend at Bahrain and fans will see the drivers in
action for the first time since last year. This year refuelling is
banned and the idea is to improve the show for the fans.
Red Bull Racing's
Mark Webber says he is not sure how it will be for the fans.
"Those early laps are going to be a bit of a slog, but it will
be the same for everyone. In terms of the spectacle, strategy and how
the races will unfold, I'm not sure what it's going to be like for
the people at home," he said.
The governing body
the FIA and FOTA hopes the ban on refuelling will reduce the
strategic overtaking as any tactician has previously been able to
ascertain when a rival would pit by looking at fuel loads, and so
plan accordingly.
This season only
the tyre wear will force a drive to make a pit stop. Lap times could
still be used to determine what the conditions of tyres of teams are
and that could give an indication of when drivers will stop. |
