Paddy Lowe did not agree that a ban on refueling will race next season, boring. According to the Head of Engineering Department, McLaren, drivers are likely to make more pit stops to replace rubber along the distance, as the impact of high fuel loads on the tires Bradgestone not yet known.
"This is a big change, adaptation, which will require a huge effort by all teams: they will have to develop new fuel tanks, the relevant safety standards, and a new strategy," - says Lowe. "Many people believe that race next year will be boring, but I'm not sure.
Changes in regulations can result in a fresh interest. For example, the weight machines at the start will be very different from the weight at the finish. It will be other cars, and loading 160 kg of fuel they carry themselves will be different.
Another factor will be the tires. According to Bridgestone, the tire will be calculated at a distance of 200 km, but did not know how they will behave if you try to drive more.
Race distance of about 300 km, and therefore wondered how teams will use different types of tires. We must not forget that the regulation requires the mandatory use of two types of tires.
People have suggested that during the race will be only one change of tire, but tire wear may require an additional pit stop, at least in some races. "
