Looks like 2010 is going to be very interesting, at least for the first few races whilst all the teams adjust to carrying total race fuel.
Ferrari is working hard ahead of the 2010 season in the area of fuel consumption, team boss Stefano Domenicali has revealed.
The Italian team's V8 reportedly uses more fuel per lap than its key rivals Mercedes and (particularly) Renault, and the fact will take on a greater importance this year with cars no longer allowed to make refuelling pit stops.
"Before Bahrain we will be ready," Domenicali is quoted as saying by the Spanish sports newspaper Marca on the topic of fuel efficiency. "I believe this year (fuel) consumption will be fundamental. We are working very hard with (fuel supplier) Shell on this. We have relative expectations but we are going in the right direction," he added.

Now isn't that interesting.
Suddenly, having the most fuel efficient engine in F1 is a fantastic marketting tool. So where's Toyota when it counts?
