The rules are 100kg per race and 100kg/h maximum fuel burn rate.I just used simple maths you get 100kg its a 2hour race aka 50kg/hour

Yes, and still RB somehow in an arrogant way managed to break the rule, thus cancelling the points they would have won... Such losers, perhaps the entire season will work for them in this way. Say hello to the more interesting times ahead.
From my current understanding the 100kg/hour figure is slightly misleading as it is measured more precisely otherwise how would the FIA know Red Bull were breaking that rate at lap 5?
What they mean is they have a specific flow rate that needs to be measured and is probably measured on a second basis or even more precise. Otherwise you could give a car 200kg/hour flow rate for a lap and then dial it all the way down the next lap.

It's measured every millisecond, you can burn 27.777....7 (or ~27.7778) mg per ms like Bludd mentioned
It's measured every milisecond, but I'd find it odd if they didn't average over a longer interval.
A four stroke V6 engine @15000 rpm has 750 ignitions per second or 1.33 ms between each ignition. Averaging fuel flow below this interval would be retarded.

The rules are absolute and should not be questioned, doing so is tantamount to blasphemy and will be met with a swift execution.
I agree that the fuel regulations are pretty shitty right now, but that will take a while to change(if ever) and if Redbull exceeded the agreed upon limit then they will be sacrificed at the alter to appease the Almighty FIA.

They're initially averaging it at 10 Hz (100ms) but lower it to 5 Hz (200ms).

RB's owner said they would leave F1 if they didn't play a significant role in it, if there was no power for them, and if there was no economic reason!
Oh, hell, such suckers.
Hope is FIA will get rid of them as soon as possible.

Nah not really

He makes lots of valid complaints, the sound, the speed and the fact that at the current budget which is many many times that of GP2 the lap times might be very similar.
Though that last claim isn't determined yet

My 2 cents, while i like the fact that we have one more big team in Formula One i don't really think i will miss them that much. In that interview the arrogance is dripping down the page and it seems as if we should be thankful they even bother to race. Imho the real racing teams are there because that is the only thing they know how to do and want to do.
They absolutely deserve the punishment.
Not to sound too pessimistic but a lot of the 'real' racing teams (e.g. not manufacturer or sales/image driven) are the ones struggling. Sauber is one of them, Williams another (though they seem to have stroke the jackpot this year with the Mercedes engine and reasonable aero).
Agreed

Well, it is true that they are struggling but at least don't ruin the moral of the sport, of the competition.
Ok, I will say it straight. RB are too damn evil. We have seen enough and it is already tiring and boring.
Evil is subjective - all the teams try their best to bend the sport their way and find loop holes.
Horner's problem is that he loves the limelight a little too much and tries to come across as the injured party once too many times. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth IMHO.
