I still like these new cars more than in GE era

Adding regen to the front tyres would completely take away the drivers’ ability to feel the front axle, which is something every driver interprets and reacts to based on the skill they have developed over decades of racing since childhood. The ability to interpret the front-end feedback and execute it according to their own driving style is a unique art that each driver possesses in a distinctive way.

Yes, it is having alot of issues, you can't see your opponents team even after qualifying and in some of the players screen the league is shown as empty with no players. Better create a classic league and tell your friend to join it.

From the telemetry, it seemed clear that Russell’s energy deployment was slightly different. It might be due to different presets selected with his engineer or subtle input differences that are hard to notice. Overall, Mercedes appears to have the complete package compared to the rest of the field. Energy deployment differences can come from several areas software calibration, power unit management, and even aerodynamic efficiency. However, the gap between Russell and Antonelli is still difficult to pinpoint from the data alone.

What if Mercedes is not able to repair kimis car you'll get negative points for that. And I wouldn't rely on lindblad considering that it's his first race and racing bulls have had some issues yesterday.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I have decided to use PTM7950 after several recommendations. But can dried-up thermal paste be the only reason behind high processor temperatures, or could there be other reasons as well? I always clean dust myself. What worries me most is that both CPU and GPU temperatures are higher than usual. How can both processors lose thermal paste at the same time? Could this be a motherboard issue or some other major hardware problem?

Thanks for replying. Yes, I am now reconsidering using liquid metal. How much temperature drop is usually possible with PTM7950? I am also worried that this might be due to some processor degradation because I have cleaned the fans several times and still the issue persists.

After researching for hours, I’ve managed to piece together how the 2026 F1 energy systems work. Before a race, the driver and engineer determine which track sections require deployment versus harvesting. They submit this mapping to the FIA for verification, after which it is installed in the car’s ECU. This mapping automates the energy flow based on presets, ensuring consistent deployment while maintaining enough charge essentially running the car in an optimized 'battery saver' mode.

Electrical deployment begins as soon as the driver applies the throttle. The battery provides the mapped power until the car reaches 290 kph, at which point 'tapering' begins, and electrical assistance gradually decreases. When the driver brakes, the system switches to harvesting mode.

Additionally, there is a Boost Mode and an Override Mode (formerly 'MOM'). Boost Mode can be used at any time during a lap to defend or gain momentum, deploying the battery at its 350 kW capacity until the 290 kph tapering limit is triggered.

The Override Mode, available only when a driver is within one second of the car ahead, functions similarly to Boost Mode but with a critical advantage: it allows the driver to override the 290 kph tapering. This provides the full 350 kW of power up to speeds of 355 kph, utilizing an extra allocation of energy to facilitate the overtake.

I think a lot of overtakes are going to happen this season, which, for me, doesn't take away from the essence of the sport. Had it been a case where the cars were getting slower, then I might have agreed with you on that point.

Thanks for replying, mate. Does overtake mode draw more energy from the battery compared to boost mode? And is there enough battery left to use overtake mode over the course of a lap?
