Rules Formula 1 the 2021 season is at Liberty Medium, the umbrella organization FIA and the teams still have a hot topic. Those in charge weigh various options to improve racing. And during these debates and debates, it came back on the agenda refueling at stops in the pits.
For the teams, they would return the refueling - from the year 2010 is banned - huge costs incurred. In the first season, these costs are estimated at the amount million. In the following seasons, however, operating costs would fluctuate at 330.000 euros per year. And while the teams are in doubt, the racers are as it is Robert Kubica to return refueling. “As a refueling racer, I wouldn’t eliminate it at all. Of course, there are always different ways to look. From the point of view of racers, refueling during a stop in the pits can only be positive. This would make the race cars lighter and it would put less strain on the tires."
Kubica it also emphasizes different strategies, which would improve the events on the tracks in races. In addition, he believes that teams with lighter race cars - racers would start the race with less fuel in the tank - would better handle the tires, which are the Achilles' heel for many this year. “At the same time, your tires determine when you need to stop at the pits. The strategies are quite obvious because of this. If someone under pressure puts you under pressure, you just turn into the pits a lap later."
With the option to refuel the race, strategies would be at the center again. Teams would have the opportunity to make a difference with an ingenious move. “If you have different amounts of fuel, it mixes the race cars better in the field. It is simply an additional factor that can affect racing in a positive way,He added Kubica.
Sergio Perez, team racer Racing Point, has never experienced refueling during a race in his career. Therefore Mexican it is difficult to find arguments for the return of refueling. With many changes in the season 2021 but he sees a completely different danger. “The more we change, the greater the benefit to top teams to develop a certain advantage.“Whether this will be done through material or amount of fuel, Perez also sees an advantage in making the race cars lighter. “That would be great for a race. However, I do not believe that this would have an excessive effect on the balance of power."
Still, you are Mexican for the future he wants easier race cars, even though he is a team racer Racing Point he doesn’t want to focus on technical details at all. “Fans don’t care if there’s five or a hundred pounds of fuel in a race car. They just want to see more even competition."It simply came to our notice then Perez remember the season 2012when we had eight different winners. “At the time, competition in Formula 1 was very close. And that should be the goal for our sport."
