Among a number of rule tweaks for the 2019 Formula One season, the FIA has announced it will increase the fuel allowance for each car with the aim of allowing drivers to push harder during races.

The sport's rule making bodies -- the Formula One Strategy Group and Formula One Commission -- met at the FIA's headquarters in Paris on Tuesday to discuss the future of F1. As well as reviewing the sport's wide ranging changes for 2021, which were outlined to the teams at the Bahrain Grand Prix earlier this month, three rule changes were agreed for next season.
