There was a video or fact sheet, that mentioned the hot exhaust was burning the hydrogen in the air, to make the flames.

Correct. They spit a lot of unburnt fuel at idle and part throttle, but very much burn every bit of it at wide open throttle. The intense exhaust heat actually "cracks" hydrogen molecules from atmospheric "air" and burns it independently. Pretty amazing phenomena all on its own.
