Default It's been a few years, and I'm still happy that RE-FUELING is gone.
Re-fueling is inherently dangerous. I always cringed when a driver gunned it prior to the fuel hose being disengaged. The teams obviously kept searching for ways to make a pit stop faster, so eventually - at least I thought - there would be a fiery incident and a driver and/or crew members would be severely burned.

Also, I hated when the only time we saw a car pass another car was in the pits. That always made me roll my eyes during the 2008 season. I think the racing is better now that the drivers have to contend with a very heavy car at the beginning of the race, nurse a car if running low on fuel, and be able to keep a fast pace on low fuel towards the end of the race.

I feel as if F1 is more safe and more fun since re-fueling was axed. What say ye?
