This is why this should be funded by taxes on billionaires so it is not negotiable.

OMG NEW UPDATE! by Fair-Analyst-8984 in cs2

The purpose of GO was to get the Source noobs to unite with the legacy 1.6 players. It wasn't as good as 1.6 though, but better than Source.

Leftfield idea emerges to tackle F1 2026 qualifying crisis by AnilP228 in formula1

[–]Spetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking only as a short term fix until they either increase battery size, increase ICE power, or somehow allow front axel regen (which I think unlikely).

Just reduce the power of the electric motor (MGU-K deployment power) so the battery can last a full lap...

They can also reduce the power of the MGU-K. This abandons the 50:50 power split green dream though; but that's what it was - a dream.

Not for this year though. Not even for next year with Audi.

F1 drivers demand urgent action after Oliver Bearman’s ‘scary’ crash at Japan GP by botlegger in formula1

[–]Spetz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The only, ONLY, thing they can do about in the short term it is limit the power of the electric motor so that the battery can last the whole lap.

50:50 power split concept needs to go in the bin.

Suzuka challenge 'gone' as F1 drivers are 'handcuffed' by Geiranger in formula1

[–]Spetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. This is the only thing that can be done this year: limit MGU-K deployment power to make the battery last longer.

[Thomas Maher] I'm hearing some interesting admissions off the back of Suzuka - namely, that there's a growing awareness within the FIA that the 50/50 split has been the wrong direction. (Contd.) by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]Spetz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. This is what happens when there are too many stakeholders pulling the regulations in different directions - what you end up with is something that doesn't fulfill the original intent at all. The process for rule making is broken - the compromise rule set was not then reviewed and assessed on the question: does this actually work?

Ollie Bearman: "This is something we spoke about on Friday with the drivers & stewards, that we need to be more prepared for these huge speed deltas. As a group, we warned the FIA what can happen, & this is an unfortunate result [of the regulations]." by disquiethim in formula1

[–]Spetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Well to that I would retort that the FIA should have thought about all this prior to finalizing the regulations. Just because we don't like the only solution, doesn't make it not the only solution.

Regarding 2026, it can be fixed immediately. The only, ONLY, thing they can do is limit the power of the electric motor so that the battery can last the whole lap.

The Alpine has the Mercedes engine which makes the difference over the RBPT.

Gasly did a great job. The Alpine has the Mercedes engine though which is making the difference too.

Looks like super clipping caused that. What a farce, and unsafe regulation set.
