Recently, it has come to light that refueling is set to return to the sport in 2017. The FIA have said the return of the process is all to happen in order to liven up the sport. Discussions on social media sites have brought one thing to light, fans are split. After scrolling through tweets and posts in social media, it seems to me that you hear fans are opposed to the action, saying that it is reintroducing an unnecessary risk. We've all seen the types of accidents that occurred during refueling. However, long term fans of the sport seem to be set on it being a better idea as they feel the sport has drifted from what it once was.
Long term fans see that the sport has become a health and safety obsessed society, rigged with 'don't do that' and 'you must not...' And feel that any return of any process would be a step in the right direction.
Newer fans, however, see that Formula 1 is the leading pioneer in motoring. It sets the standards in skill, speed and now, safety. After so many fatalities, we live in a world where safety is a number one priority in everyday life. However, it is expected that regulations will be in place of the refueling, in order to make it as safe as possible.
As for the race, this would make it a lot easier for teams to complete a race, fuel worry free. In addition to this, cars would have the option of being lighter and hence, faster. Having said this, pit stops for refueling would be significantly longer. What side are you on? Do you want refuelling back, or do you like the sport the way it is?
