yes refueling and no tyre changes was always a strange choice from the FIA.. also it has led to some of the problems this year as the cars "sprint" between the stops for refueling instead of having to stay out the whole race and go abit slower and judge their pace over the whole race better

the FIA introduced refueling in a bid to fool the fans into thinking there was overtaking, or at least changes of positions, during a race but it's never worked for me.. yes it can make races interesting but overtaking is even more interesting and will generate more publicity for the sport

The FIA need to take away from the aero side of F1 so they can follow other cars and overtake instead of trying to fool us into thinking it takes place with refueling.. no one talks about a great strategy after a race but they do talk about overtaking

Think back to 94 and Estoril. Schuey was going to overtake Damon Hill and for a few laps before went onto the part of the curcuit he was going to use to clean it up so when he used it to overtake he had the grip he needed.. if a man with that ability in a car 2 seconds faster decided to "wait for the stops" at Imola something is wrong
