Really? Okay I've got it wrong. So if they require 1L, why get in trouble for 1.3L? Is it because they do need to have enough fuel to get back to the pits and also have 1L remaining? I'm not wrong about Sam Michael though, if what you say is true and they stuffed up their defense (and the obvious problem in the first place, lack of fuel).

Whitmarsh basically said that, because it is so difficult to gauge exactly how much fuel is in a car, they took the obvious step of stopping the car, in case they were too close to not obtaining enough. I don't know whether 300ml would have been enough to get back to the pits or no. What would you class as getting to the pits anyway?
