Hi Garry, I'll go back to sleep then but before I do, my original point still stands. Computer aided fuel management, provided from the pits, is a driver aid in my opinion. What is wrong with seeing the current situation in that way? At best the in-car computing power should provide the driver the information for fuel management. What's next, pit assisted passes? As to the other stuff, if the race fuel load is based on the amount of fuel a car used in its fastest qualifying lap, then giving an incentive to wind down the engine would result in closer racing. Carrying the weight penalty of unneeded fuel deserves a bonus, either to a team or a driver. Just kicking it around in the interest of closer racing. To my mind, anything is better than DRS...
