Mark, if Max and Bernie are really interested in pushing green technologies, why try to impose the new rules limiting engine development on the manufacturers?

Mark, if Green technology is the destination, why not allow even more engine innovation and development, along with imposing fuel restrictions?   Meaning, if a race will cover 200 miles, then each car will receive 40 gallons of hi-octane pump gas, which requires each car to achieve 5 mpg.
That's an example.

This could be slowly increased over time, and with some forward vision, allow teams to pursue diesel power.  Impose even greater fuel restriction, say 6 or 7 mpg on diesel powered cars, while allowing larger engines and forced induction as an enticement to pursue such development.

Such a path would allow F1 to continue to be the world leaders in automotive innovation, and not allow Bernie and Max to turn it into an open wheel version of Nascar, where everything is restricted, no new technologies can be exploited, and where the racing is basically like high speed rush hour traffic.
