No, issue with refuelling is, less on-track competition time for cars in the same performance bracket (say, Merc, Ferrari and RedBull in the current crop), because, cars operate on similar weight range only for a portion of the race (and even less time sharing track). In a way, it is a good thing, considering how aero sensitive these cars have become.balintgabulya wrote: ↑23 Jun 2018, 12:45The issue with refuelling is even less overtakes on track. It might however allow drivers to push a little harder. I think a solution could be tires with better working range combined with a certain amount of cliff:

Something like this!
We could go back to the argument of getting the aero right, but, there is no simple way of getting aero right in the current cars other than taking it out of the equation. Unless, F1 is ready to take aero totally out of the equation, refuelling is better option than gimmicks like DRS and engineered degradation.
I felt refuelling was unfair in the past, because, without fuel flow restriction and unlimited PU, teams pretty much operated in an unsustainable manner. Now, should F1 introduce refuelling with fuel-flow restrictions and a reasonable PU mileage demand, it should work in a fair manner.
