My point is that you'd at least get three faster red teams , but Honda and Renault would know how to use more fuel as well one would think .
And , the reds weren't "done" for anything , only suspected .
Neither fuel flow or oil burning were proven , only suspected , and the files remain closed .
It's not about that .
It's about having a competitive field .
And , it might not be any kind of help at all in the end anyway , because presumably , it would include Merc as well .
To a degree , it comes from a desire to have more of a "let them race" attitude from the rules .
No fuel restriction but rewards for saving fuel could achieve more PR from a green point of view , as it could be shown as an extra award on the podium , and it could , in theory add an extra team into the ceremony if it wasn't one of the top three who won it .
And , trust me , I've come up with way worse plans than this .
You have no idea .
