Ooh and the 2nd sensor can only be accessed for data output by the FIA and not by the teams themselves. Just to be sure 
New flow meter for F1.

I wish they'd stop this crap and let the guys race.
Motorsport by it's very nature, can never be green.
While it is okay to be efficient, it should never trump the racing.
You've saved fuel by cutting half the cylinders.
Now concentrate on a race schedule which host the races in succession, so you're not running jumbos all over the planet and back.
Let that be your concession to being 'greener'.

Just have to limit output. Everyone on the team wants to crank it up to V8 performance levels. The FIA need to start punting scrutineers on cars or use video severance in garage to police what teams do to cars.
People can hack phones and computers. They will work for the teams to hack into this and other systems.

^That would also require to remove tones of data gathering. Without that, teams can't run billions of simulations and they would need to go for a real risk in race.
I like the idea to give fixed amount of fuel, I thought about doing that for whole weekend. That should limit them to running in P, giving less data for race preparation. Of course, real "circus" owners (TV companies), would be against it since there is not enough time with cars on track. Then just turn off all sensors during practice, run practice as everyone wish. And proceed with fixed fuel amount for Q+R.
Actually, scrap that, that would just leave us with similar situation as in 60-70-80s. And we all know that was really boring.

A real quick way of levelling the playing field for all teams would be to put hard limits on how many people they can hire. A max number of engineers means you can only develop so much. Probably hard to stop the likes of Mercedes developing outside the company and just handing over research.
At the moment it's like a soccer game where one team has 11 players and the other has 121 players.
