I wish the regulations were reduced to that simple core principle. Yes F1 is a battleground for marketing nowadays but why should a regulation like that deter them? Motorcycling has now got an electric bike series starting so a fuel limited car series would probably have to develop as a new series alongside what now prevails.

Yes!, i am one of those people!! :)
but wasnt that the theory behind the group c endurance cars at the start of the 90's?
and they manage to kill that by trying to turn it into a formula. but yes i think the should resurrect that idea, although they have kinda by banning refueling
