FIA, the governing body of the Formula 1 Championship, has confirmed plans for a stricter clampdown on oil burn in 2020, according to Motorsport.com. The FIA will limit the allowed oil consumption down to 0.3 liters every 100 km (approx. 62 miles) in 2020.

Currently, teams are limited to 0.6 liters of oil consumption per 100 km (approx. 62 miles). New rules in 2019 meant, during qualifying rounds, teams could also no longer add oil or transfer it from an auxiliary oil tank to part of the lubrication system.

The move comes as the FIA aims to stop teams from gaining unfair advantages from burning oil.

"The question of oil is simple," Nikola Tombazis of the FIA told Motorsport.com. "The regulation states that the only fuel that can be burned is petrol, so the oil must be just a lubricant.

"We know that there is oil consumption, but in some cases that could contribute to the performance, which is not correct. We intervened and reduced consumption to 0.6 kg per 100 km, but in anticipation of next year we want to drop even further.

"When it comes down to such low consumption, it becomes clear that there will be no need to have an auxiliary tank in qualifying. So this is the novelty of 2019."
