It is an unusual rule.
If it is that important the fuel flow regulator must automatically limit the flow. The poor driver has enough to contend with when "putting his foot down" in a difficult maneuver without having to watch the fuel flow that he apparently does have control over.
Most of the race just looked like a procession of the qualifying order waiting for the leaders to break down or crash to give someone else a chance.
Maybe all the cars should be prepared by a set of mechanics so that they perform identically and then draw lots to see who drives which car.
