F1 2026

They want 100% power any time the steering wheel isn't turned or the brakes are on.

Apparently the armchair guys know better than the F1 drivers. The drivers have no clue. They should just keep quiet and drive what the engineers dish up for them.

no matter how you put it, this is not F1

According to this report, Colapinto is losing almost 100km/h while at full throttle on the straight!!!

And it's not just Colapinto. EVERYBODY lost speed

 
Sinbad said:
Yeah but it wasn't a 50% power hit when the energy ran out. They lost 150kw not 350.

Sure but the whole concept is about strategic deployment just with a bigger electric contribution than before. It’s not like this was surprising to teams, this was raised years ago.

Which is, as I said, kurtzman F1.

2026 is basically roughly double the old average hybrid contribution over a lap, factor in the change in ICE power and it’s not much of a deficit overall.

150kw vs 350kw but not enough battery to go flat out down the straight.

If I understand correctly, it's not just that there isn't sufficient battery for the straight, it's that power is redirected from the ICE to recharge the battery rather than power the car.

Yup. The episode with the gay klingon

Obviously depends on the length of the straight and how much power to map to full throttle / boost button. The same as arguing they could rev an extra 3000 rpm out of the ICE where there’s a 15000 rpm cap but teams run 11500-12500 depending on the session. It’s a mindset that needs changing.

It’s more to do with the optimal time to recover and then deploy for the most optimal lap.
