I wonder what will happen in monaco when you know it took +- 1h45 to end it in the last years . I think the difference between full fuel - low fuel will be even higher there then anywhere else . So we are heading to the 2h race limit ...

Wrong. The difference will be less than anywhere else.

i think not

Why do people keep talkin like this is the first time we haven't had re-fueling?

The last Monaco race without refueling was won in 1:52. There is no reason to expect the current cars to take 8 minutes longer than that.

If I remember correctly... Monaco isn't a track that consume a lot of fuel per lap, so the full load lap time wouldn't be as big as what we saw in Bahrain. Specially Monaco is a much shorter track.

Up until 1993, when refuelling was not allowed, Monaco GP was the same 78 laps long, the track was the same, give or take a meter or two and there was never any problems and the race took 1:51 to 1:53 to complete.

Not even multiple safety cars can affect the time that much. In 2004 (when cars were at their fastest) the race with two SCs took little under 1 h 46 minutes. In fact, in recent years with refuelling they could have driven full 305 kilometres (Monaco is only over 260) in two fours if the race had been "clean" (dry with no SCs)


Only place where they are near to 2 hour limit is Singapore.
2008 1h57'16" (2 SC)
2009 1h56'06" (1 SC)

They were working on the chicane after the tunnel wasn't it?

i also wonder what will happen with these slow newcomers at monaco:)

it takes more fuel to accelerate than it does to keep momentum? monaco is mainly tight twisty with alot of acceleration

No... the fuel gets burnt when the engine is at max power, like going down the straight. Plus a race car never stops accelerating, unlike a road car that gets to its legal speed then goes into keep momentum mode.

Feeding the power on out of a corner would not use anywhere near as much fuel as full throttle in the higher gears.

That

They compete for the new, 150km sprint race run at the same time.

Fact is that the race in Monaco is some 40 km shorter than all other races, so the amount of fuel needed at the start would most likely be to a much smaller extent than at other tracks. The last dry race in Monaco was won in 1h 42 m, and I don't expect a race free of rain and safety cars to take longer than 1 h 44 m to be honest.

considering monaco requires extremely soft tyres (very very slippery) and the fuel consumption is low (race shorter) we could have seen somebody try to go all the race without a pitstop.
now they will prbably start on softs and go longer than half of the race on them and then move to the "harder" compound.
