SILVERSTONE, England (Reuters) - Formula One is considering bringing back in-race refuelling as part of rule changes from 2021 and Jean Todt, the president of the governing FIA, said on Friday he would be in favour.

Refuelling was banned in 2010 for cost and safety reasons and attempts to reintroduce it since then, to make the cars lighter and faster as well as give teams more strategy options, have failed.
