@adamcooperf1: Renault's Rob White told me recently that they don't think cars will be so tight on fuel, apart from the odd track. Different views...
Yeah, i was thinking that 100 kg is still quite a bit. At the moment they have maximum of 150kg but with far less power coming from the kers system than will do from the Ters systems the cars will be running. Plus, the engines will be far more efficient due to them being direct injection, better management, turbo etc. I don't expect it to be a problem for many races but I'm sure it will be for a few. If it becomes a problem can they not just shorten the races anyway? The FIA seems happy enough to change all sorts mid-season.
Concept of car will determine this as well. If you have a draggy car with lots of downforce you might lose out on fuel efficiency. Some might go for a car with less downforce but can cane it throughout the race. Will be interesting to see which direction the teams go. I think we're going to see a HUGE field spread as the concepts will be so different. Will be interesting/bonkers season. Hopefully, two teams will have done a near equal job otherwise it could be a dull procession for whichever team has done the best job.
