Banning refuelling would also result is a lot more DNFs. At the moment a fuel related DNF is a rarity, it should only happen if an on-line manager purposely chooses to cancel the pit stop and then the car runs out in the first part of the following lap. Cars will slowly coast back to the pits for a considerable distance to refuel so a slight miscalculation doesn't normally result in a DNF.
Banning refuelling would be a game changer, any miscalculation and the car will almost certainly DNF because there would no longer be the option for a "splash & dash" for the last lap or two.
That problem would be solved by introducing engine modes (push, normal and save) or fuel mixtures (rich, standard, lean)
Only for attending managers.
Roald. Also, I didn't say it was a bad thing, I was just commenting on a possible consequence of a refuelling ban. Personally I think it would be a good thing (as a host controlled option) and would make the FE and TE attributes much more influential.
