See lots of drivers pull over and not making it back after the race. Guessing this was the teams on the radio telling them they are going close the 1 litre rule. Looks like Aston Martin where to busy celebrating and not concentrating on the small things.
Don't know at what fuel level they tell the drivers to stop the car on track, near 1 litre or well above as buffer? They're saying they told him to stop at 1.74 so is that a routine level to stop on track so would that have been enough to get to the pitlane and still be above 1 litre?

I was unaware they knew it was getting low and told him to stop. I’ve never really took much notice of it but it was strange to see so many drivers stop around the track which makes me think lots of teams either misjudged it or the red flag interfered in the fuel somehow(clutching at straws here).

If they told him to stop at 1.74 you would think it wouldn’t be as low as it was when he got back to the pit lane though. I suggest there is an issue or they are talking crap.

they're saying the mechanism that lifts the fuel out was faulty (or something like that), hence why FIA could only extract 0.3 litres. If they can get another they might prove otherwise because by only saying they had 1.74 litres with data should not excuse why they couldn't extract more than 0.3.
 
I thought it was a quiz and the answer was Kopites.

Vettel disq.

And people have the gaul to claim Schumacher and ferrari were gifted things.

Hamiltons titles are tinted... pure luck, best car in history and FIA in his pocket

Not how it is. Utter bollocks. Bottas wipes both red bulls ourt today by being [Poor language removed]... and what happens? He starts at worst 8th next race. Prob 6th.

I'm not being silly. Hamilton gets all the luck and help from the FIA. Its being ridiculous now

I've seen cars stop on the last lap because they have run out of fuel. How.is that right?

Bore off mate. It's a bollox rule. I saw a merc driver today ram 2 red bulls off the track. And somebody has less than a litre of fuel left and gets dsq? Utter crap

What??? Perez won this season and didn't make it back to the pits...

He won. No penalty

Another way to gift Lewis the title. Hilarious really.

And perez stopping on the track because he couldn't finish is diff how?

Well yeah it prob will actually

All.of that is true. All u can dispute is the FIA bit
I always like to start the day with a good chuckke.

The ramblings of a madman usually hit the spot.

Cheers.
 
Clearly if a team thinks it has >1ltr of fuel in the car but can't extract it then it has a problem either with sensor calibration or interpretation of the regulations.

amateurish mistake by the team imo, and has cost them a lot of points today.
The FIA are giving leeway for an appeal, so it may be resolved if it is a sensor.

yup, if they can prove its "just" a sensor/extraction issue and the car really does still have the min req fuel in it then that would be fine. Not holding my breath for them though. We have seen cars thrown out of sessions and races in the past due to fuel irregularities.
