Alonso's poor time
Shevek
sessions (8th time, 7th in the grid). When asked by the Spanish
television, Alonso explained that it seems that after the second session
the team was not sure if they have already refueled so they refueled
again. So, the car had twice the expected fuel and was a lot slower.
This fuckup means that they have now to change the strategy for the
race, and perhaps he should make only one stop, as the tank is full.

That sounds suspiciously unlikely to me.

formula1.com quoted him saying "...we had a problem with the fuel rig...",
that can mean too little/too much fuel.
But then, too little, that could be solved by refuelling many times :-))

And if unsure, it would probably be better to risk being heavier and
have to switch to one stop than to qualify on fumes and have to refuel
in the first couple of laps.

...but would you think that if it were Fisi's rig they had the problem with.

Is there any rule against him doing doughnuts for 5 minutes in
a run-off area during his coming-in lap, in order to lighten his
load?

Just seems odd.. How could nobody in the team know? We're not talking about
just one person sneaking up to the car with a fuel churn.

You need decent laps...within 110% I think of your fastest one. So doing a
couple of doughnuts is not possible.

According to Alonso, the problem was with the computers, that didn't
reflect the previous load.

Will Gates ever make a decent OS ? Mind you, maybe Alonso clicked on
the wrong Snoopy dog.. ;-)

Don't top post, it makes you look like you're gibbering to yourself.

You need decent laps to get _refilled_. If you do doughnuts, you'll
both lose fuel and not get it refilled. Thus start with an emptier
tank.
