It's to ensure there is enough to test post race and keep some as a backup sample etc.
I guess some teams in the past cheated and ran the car dry so the sample could not be tested.

It’s good to ask questions F1 has morphed a fair amount but, is also exactly the same.
They still do...lol but don't trust Ferrari.

Guessed they would. Not a leg to stand on. It was quite black and white. "Can you give me 1litre of the fuel from that tank now? " No sir. " Penalty then."AM withdraw appeal

Big shame for vettel. But you can't change the rules just because he deserves the place and he is actually a nice guy.

Anyone here been there? I have, last year of the v8s - nice place, nice country. That hill up at Eau Rouge is much steeper than you see it on tv.

I did a trip round Belgium a few years back and spent a night there. Very random hotel/castle we found to stay in where the owner made frequent hunting trips to Scotland (where I was living at the time) so the connection led him to opening up his fine cellar :-)
There was some tin top racing going on - you’re right that hill is quite steep. What took me was the shear size of the track - on the day we left we seemed to be driving “around” it for ages as we winded up trough the hills.
I’d love to go to an F1 weekend there - probably a reasonable chance as wifey could do something chocolate related as a compromise !

Me and my mate cycled around it - I was knacked....
Coming back down to the bottom end, I was shouting at him that this was the old circuit - the Masta kink - he couldn't hear a word, afterwards I explained, not sure he got it even then.
