Re: Why is running out of fuel at the end of the race ok?
Surely it is far harder over the course of a 305km race to anticipate fuel usage than it is over a three lap qualifying run? A team or driver might want or be forced to adapt or change its strategy, a contingency unwise to plan against. Indeed, that we do often see drivers immediately parking it hav...
