Last season the TV coverage included % fuel used and there was lots of commentary discussion about who was the most efficient driver etc. This season not a mention and the stats have disappeared.
Is this no longer an issue or have I missed something?

It is probably irrelevant as it only showed fuel used without any reference to how much fuel they start with.

They upped the fuel load for this season because of the extra drag and the PUs have been getting ever more efficient so they are slightly left fuel critical now. Also I bet constant talk of fuel saving was not popular among the pundits and fans so it's played down.

Sky have moved some of the graphics from the main feed to the onboard channel. I'm not sure about fuel, but for example if you want to look at revs and stuff, that's only on their onboard feed now.
