Anyone else watching the testing?

Commentators making good points ATM, they're looking at going to 12 sprint races a year so why not have 6 of them completed by young drivers from each team

Give them some experience

Must be the air

[finite sun]

Using my dumbass aerodynamics knowledge, surely you are getting some sort of lift generated when the wing is upside down. So even if you have a bit more drag from 1) spinning it and 2) larger surface area facing the wind, the lift generated lifts the car a little to go faster

if you ever wanna see how shit these regs are

compare russells pole lap, to anything from last era

[late seal]

Oh I've seem it

Its cooked

[dusky harbor]

brother is down shifting and breaking 100m before turn 9, where as for example max's 2024 lap, man downshifts and flings it around 9-10

he downshifts TWICE

[late seal]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-funny-black-man-gif-12405487584384624752

[dawn siren]

The issue is they just don't have enough battery power to deploy. Or the ratio that the power is being deployed is too high.

if they could have enough battery charge to not "super clip" at the end of the straight and keep the power down it wouldn't be an issue.

honestly getting rid of the MGU-H is the main issue. there would be nothing wrong with these regs if it was just fuel and no ground affect but everything else was the same.

[dusky harbor]

getting rid of the mgu-h was main reason companies like audi and cadilac even joinned i think

even our boy snow agrees

[dawn siren]

you can be eco friendly and still run a V8 lmao

[dusky harbor]

meanwhile up to 24 races per year equalling more freight and personal flights

[sinful kiln]

they can have more electric power but they should have thought more about how to generate more and bigger storage. that could be fine.

[dusky harbor]

fuck no

if they want more electric power, fuck off to formula e

[dawn siren]

I think the battery is just generating too much power, so it runs out of juice faster. give them less power for a longer period of time.

[sinful kiln]

that could be the case that they use too much power.

The irony of F1’s “green engines”:

- All race cars combined over a season: ~150 tonnes CO₂/year
- F1’s total footprint from flying cargo everywhere: ~250,000+ tonnes

Even if fuel consumption tripled using V12s, that’s <1% from the engines.

But sure, let’s nerf the engines.

X · Mar 7, 2026, 7:04 AM

that is just because the change of the petrol powered part of the engine is smaller. but the battery is not big enough for the storage.

just give v10 engines back and tell the eco warriors go watch formula e

v10s will never come back - the manufactuers dont want them and with out them you have flintstone mobiles ( still an improvement over 2026 honda pu though)

and besides v12s exist

[late seal]

In an interview with Sky Sports on the eve of the new season in Australia, Domenicali responded to the drivers' reaction to F1's new rules.

"I think it's wrong, in general terms, to talk bad about an incredible world that is allowing all of us to grow," he said. "And that's the only thing that I would say is not right.

"But, you know, I always listen [with] prudency. There is an evolution of driving, it means that the best driver will be able to be the fastest."

3 options A. bigger battery. B. reduce the amount of power the battery gives, reducing the juice used per straight eliminating the downshifts. C. allow the front wheels as well to harvest energy. A and C kind of go together.

Ferrari are not miles behind though, so there is hope that we can have a half decent season at least. Rather than one team just running away with it

Actually what happened today was very obvious, and Zack mentioned it. The Mercedes have the performance and they have the strategy, but different kind of strategy. But today they managed the pace after securing 1-2 to keep deltas small.

When Fernando Alonso says he's going to finish the race, he means it—with or without the car! This is what happens when that legendary "GP2 engine" finally decides it’s had enough, but the hunger for those points is just too high. You honestly can't even be mad at the hustle.
