Published qualifying weights

kmsport · 28 Mar 2009, 11:09 (Ref:2427014)

During the Melbourne qualifying broadcast I heard Martin Brundle refer to the fact that qualifying weights, and hence fuel loads will be published post session this year. Where can these be found? On the internet anywhere?
There is nothing like this on the FIA site either...

I've been looking for them too. Personally I'd be happy for them to remain confidential as last year; but if they are to be publsihed I want them please.

It was DC who said it after quali (when he could get a word in sideways with EJ about

)

The teams certainly agreed to share them as part of the economy measures, ie if they tell each other what fuel they are carrying they won't waste money spying on each other. If they are telling each other surely they will make it public.

Here they are.

The brawns the heaviest out of the top eight. Seems their speed is real

Thanks
I found this

It really does validate Brawn GP's result. I couldn't help wondering if they were light, not so!

The EuroBrawns are surprisingly heavy.

That's more than real,that's phenomenal!

MCWB · 28 Mar 2009, 11:46 (Ref:2427043)

Wow, BGP so heavy and still 1-2. Ominous!

Piquet and Heidfeld super heavy, one-stop fuel load? Anyone know how many kg of fuel burnt in a lap? Maybe about 3.5 kg per lap?

Pingguest · 28 Mar 2009, 12:14 (Ref:2427052)

I thought everyone outside the top-10 can decide their fuel load until tomorrow?

From Formula1.com

Quote:

The cars that made Q3 are weighed after qualifying, while the weights of the remaining cars must be declared by their teams shortly after the session.

and from the Rules & Regs section:

Quote:

Teams are free to alter their cars’ fuel loads at will during practice, the first two stages of qualifying (Q1 and Q2), and the race. However, once qualifying is over teams are forbidden from connecting to the fuel system of any car until the start of the race.

Furthermore, no refuelling is allowed during Q3 - hence drivers participating in that session must start the race with whatever fuel was left in their car at the end of Q3. If a driver makes it through to Q3, but is then unable to compete in the session, his team must inform the FIA immediately of how much fuel they wish to add to the car.

Wow. That is phenomenal pace from the Brawns. No one will touch them this weekend and I have a feeling for quite a few weekends this season.

MCWB · 28 Mar 2009, 13:23 (Ref:2427100)

Oops, the odd typo in there, plus or minus a lap or two.

Jeff 8 · 28 Mar 2009, 21:37 (Ref:2427372)

Why the difference in weights between the two?

MCWB · 29 Mar 2009, 00:42 (Ref:2427484)

The only difference is Nakajima, and I can't believe that he's only carrying 7.5 kg of fuel!

the.cosmic.pope · 29 Mar 2009, 00:46 (Ref:2427489)

Nakajimas weight was published incorrectly. It has since been fixed.

MCWB · 29 Mar 2009, 00:57 (Ref:2427498)

Did they fix Buemi's surname too?
