Great race today!
Did anyone see the feature they did on the qualy show (SkyF1) about the Merc engine? Separating the hot side and cold side of the turbo... Brilliant!!!

With the fuel being monitored and limited, and the RB thang happening, I'm thinking they are limiting the fuel flow rates to 100 liters per hour?
If the rule was simply that the cars can only hold 100 liters of fuel, then why monitor and limit the fuel flow?

The way I understand it is they are allowed 100 liters max from lights out to checkered flag; and they are also flow limited as well to prevent teams from holding out all race and then turning up the wick at the end.
The reason they can run longer than an hour is due to the hybrid unit supplementing the engine.
