FIA president Max Mosley has proposed to totally revolutionise formula one`s engine rules.
Although the brand new 2.4 litre V8 formula is yet to even debut at a grand prix, the Briton revealed that the Federation was - for 2011 - thinking about no longer mandating the number of cylinders or engine capacity.
Instead, one of the only limits on engine design would be the amount of fuel allowed per race.
``All kinds of motors will be allowed,`` Max was quoted as saying by the Italian `La Gazzetta dello Sport` newspaper, ``but every car will get an equal amount of fuel. So it will be based on (fuel) consumption. Who wins will be the one who uses (the fuel) best.``
Mosley admitted that his idea also tips its hat to the world`s `oil crisis` and to critics of the excesses and waste of futile motor racing.
He said : ``It is something that we will talk about at greater length on a later date.``
