New Qualifying Format...No More Fuel Stops!

http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=46616

"This new qualifying format will reveal the out-and-out fastest car/driver combination, as the Q3 times will not be masked by varying fuel loads in 2010, as they have been this year.


The reason for this clarifying of real form is that all cars will enter Q3 on light fuel loads as refuelling during a grand prix has been banned for next year, leaving teams to refuel their cars to last the entire distance before they go to the grid for the start of the race."
What!! No more Alonso Qualifying on Fumes!!!!

I guess all that extra weight of fuel at the start of the race will make tire preservation/management a must.....Pit stops will be reduced to 5 seconds or less!
