Hi, I some doubts about fuel strategy and consumption.

In the last Mexico GP I have this situation of fuel:

Fuel at start: 150 litri

Pit Ragione Pitstop Usura gomme
Carburante rimasto Rifornito di Tempo Pit
Stop 1
(Giro 15) Le gomme non possono fare altri giri 4% 53% 100 litri 21.034s
Stop 2
(Giro 30) Le gomme non possono fare altri giri 2% 26% 100 litri 23.804s
Stop 3
(Giro 44) Le gomme non possono fare altri giri 7% 28% 100 litri 23.545s
Stop 4
(Giro 59) Le gomme non possono fare altri giri 1% 27% 100 litri 23.578s

Is it possibile to use 470 l for the entire GP? Isn't too much fuel?

Without errors I have calculate 55 l for the first 15 laps (1-15 laps), 134 l for the second part (15-30), and so on.

The average fuel consumption is 3,66 - 8,93 - 6,85 - 6,73 - 8,4 for the 5 sector (4 pitstop).

Are correct these numbers? Anyone can help me to manage Fuel strategy for the next GP.
Thanks a lot.

You have pitted because of worn tires. When you pitted 1st time, there was 53% fuel left, that means 95l. The rest of calculation is up to you now.

P.S. Just to clarify, fuel load you set on your pit-stops is not how much there will be added to the current load (e.g. 20l + 100l) but the exact load with which you will exit pit-lane. (100l no matter how much fuel you had before)

"Then you will get a good idea about how much fuel you need, it is unlikely that any race should exceed 280L of fuel."

Ok, I made an error with math.
Thanks Grzegorz Brojak for explain.
