Moseley perhaps making some sense shock!
Yeah, it's amazing, Max Moseley with a decent idea! I was as shocked as you.
The unofficial F1 Blog is reporting that he has decided that copying the MotoGP way of doing things is perhaps right. In MotoGP they have an engine size limit (currently 1ltr, but soon to become 800cc), and a fuel allowance limit (27ltrs, soon to become 23ltrs), but besides these two limits the manufacturers are free to do whatever they like, and generate as much horsepower as they can (between 230-270bhp in the modern bikes) they can run traction control, ABS, active suspension whatever.
Max has hinted that he would not regulate how big, and how many cylinders the cars use, he would not even limit horsepower and torque, no he would limit the amount of fuel the cars could use.
Max said “If we are going to have a high-technology Formula One then the research should be devoted to areas which contribute something to society,”
“At the end of homologation period we would like a different engine formula, where the limit on power is not engine capacity but by the amount of energy consumed,” he added.
Wow, perhaps the coffee is finally getting through and he is waking up!
