This is the kind of regulation that makes F1 feel overly manufactured. The corner-specific energy limits feel unnecessarily artificial.

Like what is all of this nonsense? Why do we need a MJ limitation? Just let the teams and drivers figure out what's optimal. During the summer break, the FIA and FOM needs to highly consider the 70/30 split for next year.

Yes I think the document drives home how much the drivers are not really driving with their right foot because the car is able to give different power output for the same pedal position automatically. It's really a strange phenomenon that the sport has gotten itself into, but I'm optimistic about this weekend. I think it can be similar to Monaco where the PU behavior is not that intrusive.

F1 really needs to have a good weekend before signing off for the summer otherwise the next few weeks will be unbearable. :lol:

They are working towards a better solution, but the teams just can't magically switch something like this over a month let alone stay within the budget cap.

With that being said I am of the firm opinion the FIA could change one rule in the sporting regulations, and then the teams would likely be able to fix their issues almost overnight.
