No refuelling in modern F1, they haven't had that in years. Just tyre changes now.

Oh wow, I just got that from KVR, he said "Tire change, refueling". Nuts they can do an entire race with no refueling. Didn't they used to need to do it multiple times per race? Did the races get shorter, or the cars just go that much more efficient?

The cars are more efficient than they were, but they carry battery packs now and use both kinetic energy and thermal energy recovery systems to charge them up.

The batteries, better crash safety systems and greater fuel loads are reasons the cars are significantly heavier than they used to be, especially at the start of the race.
