To little fuel is a techincal problem.
Cosworth engine versus one of the most fuel efficient engines. No comparison.These are the numbers what Mark Gallagher Cosworth exboss said, i can t argue with you, i have no data, but i belive he knows it better than you.
Also if 0,3 would be enough they wouldn t stop without a mechanical failure
Martin already said that after they checked how much fuel really was in the tank that he would have made it.
However you can´t know exactly how much fuel you have left in the car by looking at a computer screen.
Exactly. They've been found out like Ferrari in 06, and they're trying all kinds of underhanded tactics to try and wipe the egg off their faces.
GO PASTOR ON POLE 
So, what's your explanation then for him stopping, if he clearly didn't have a mechanical issue, and he had enough fuel to get to the pits?
That was always after the race, not qualifying. Apparently, there is a difference.
Because the team was unsure. If you actually read the comment you would see that.....................
You can´t know exactly how much fuel is left in the car by looking at a computer screen. Only when you actually take out the fuel you know how much is left.
Try and read comments before quoting them in the future Dewald.
Indeed, rule 6.6.2 does not cover the race. Only qualifying and practice.
Actually it´s not.
this was the reason the whole rule was created. But it only seems to apply for some people.
That's a nice mature response.
Anyway, so you have proven our points then that they took a chance and was found out.
Wrong Hampus
Just to show you again:
A race is not practice, the qualy however is practice.
No, someone not loading enough fuel is a human error.
If the fuel tank ruptured and all the content poured out on the track - THAT would've been a technical problem.
Article 6.6.2
There's nothing to debate here, plain and simple.
Yea because you sound so mature yourself....That's a nice mature response.
Anyway, so you have proven our points then that they took a chance and was found out.
Never occured that someone actually did mis-calculate the fuel?
They did that in Australia as well where both drivers ran on fuel saving mode for much of the race.
Just use your logic here. 1 extra kg of fuel equals less then one tenth.
When you consider Hamilton first of all made two small mistakes on his pole lap and the fact that he was half a second clear of anyone else tells you that they could have ran 2kg´s more of fuel and still be well within taking pole.
Ah why thank you
There was no way for McLaren to know it would be more than enough before he went out, that's why they took the chance.
Hindsight is 20/20 vision.
Nobody is disputing that...,
The problem is the penalty. It seems people are ok with Hamilton having his own personal penalties.
Again, he got disqualified for not getting to the pits. He did have enough fuel to complete the lap, he did have enough fuel for the mandatory test.
He got a penalty that is the same as if you would park your car in qualifying and block everyone setting a lap time.
I´m not sure if you are just playing or if you really are that dense.
Never said that. If the same happened to Schumacher I would think nothing of it...
And being a Mercedes fan, I said that Rosberg should've been punished for his Bahrain antics.
