Does anyone else fine it a little ridiculous that they fly 22 cars plus who knows how much gear all around the world simply to race, burn through tens of thousands of types each year ... and then pretend that they care about the environment by limiting fuel flow!
Not to mention the amount of flying the team would do in between races!
The car manufactures want it to sell small capacity turbo and hybrid cars. Technology loving types love it because it's very "now", so, well, it must be better.
And at the end of the day, stuff the "real" motorsport fans who actually love motorsport in all it's oh so old school rawness...
The fuel flow limit isn't about saving fuel though. It's to cap ultimate engine performance in this turbo era. The energy recovery side of the new cars looks after the performance boost, and it's capacity is capped.
