What would making these 3 changes to the engine regs do to the cars? No fuel flow limit and no fuel tank size limit
My idea behind these changes is that it open technical design freedoms but, to my first impressions at least, seem reasonable.
An unlimited fuel flow would increase ICE power which reduces the reliance on electrical power. The unlimited size fuel tank so hand in hand with the unlimited fuel flow so teams can put as much fuel in as they want. They could run with a 300L fuel tank if they wanted to. But they wouldn’t, because these areas of the rules would essentially then be governed by common sense. A huge fuel tank with loads of fuel is heavy which will make them slower at the start of a race. And the car designers and aerodynamicists want a small fuel tank so they can shrink wrap the car and make it as aerodynamic as possible.
Anyway just curious how this change would affect things with the design of the cars and engines and how the cars would be ran in quali and the race.
