FIA clarifies fuel flow situation
FIA head of drive-train Fabrice Lom addresses the media on Friday
The FIA’s head of powertrain, Fabrice Lom explained that the absence of a fuel-flow limit would create dangerous situations given that teams would opt for a faster strategy at race start by using a “huge boost at the beginning of the straight then lift off” he said.
