If they do away with refuelling/ pitstops, the only time you'd see a change of position is if a car breaks down. Mind you, at least you could watch the 1st lap, then go & have some fun on the bike

Didn't used to be like that when cars ran the entire race distance on one tank of fuel and one set of tyres. At the moment there is no incentive for drivers to take a risk in going for an overtake - it's easier to wait for the pitstops. Take out the pitstops and the drivers are faced with either holding position and accepting where they are for the entire race, or having a dive down the inside of someone and taking a chance.
