But in that scenario without refueling there's no pit stops, and thus no strategy options for the team beyond 'drive quickly'?
Exactly, so it seems that F1 saving a few sets of tires per weekend is really just paying lip service to sustainability.
They should just be honest and say that they are making this change because they just want something different.
If it works, then they can keep it and market it as a sustainability initiative (with benefits to on-track drama).
If it doesn't, it's just a test to see what happens.
