The increase in fuel flow will result in more RPM being produced, up to 12,000 from the current 10,000, achieving a louder and better sounding engine. The amount of fuel allowed is set to be increased to an unlimited amount however teams will likely not use any more than 120kg of fuel due to the weight and reduction in pace it would cause.
