It is understood that teams are to reject proposals for the return of refuelling.
One of the few moves announced following the most recent meeting of the controversial Strategy Group, the return of refuelling was widely seen, by drivers and fans, in a negative light.
Other than the cost involved, it is widely believed that the practice was previously banned (in 2009) both on safety grounds and the fact that it made the racing processional.
Odd then that the Strategy Group mooted its return as a bid to 'spice up' the show.
It's understood that at a meeting of the teams in Montreal yesterday, ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, the teams rejected the return of refuelling on the grounds of cost, safety and that it leads to processional racing.
More should come to light at today's technical directors' press conference.
