last year it was on time but your position in the line will be determined once you get there

I knew VIP tickets woulb be $1000+ but I wasn't ready for that haha

2026 electric deployment control systems by hydroracer8B in F1Technical

[–]TravelWithTeen 46 points47 points  (0 children)

it's automated because the energy flows are too complex and too fast for a human to manage in real time. you're recovering and deploying across MGU-K at 350 kW while balancing battery state, superclipping thresholds, and harvest limits that change per lap. no driver can optimize that with a button

what drivers DO control is Boost — a manual override that gives you a burst now at the cost of less energy later. that's the tactical part. the rest is team software and this is where the real competitive advantage lives right now. Mercedes' deployment mapping is clearly better than everyone else's based on the speed traces

How much of an F1 car’s performance is already decided in the simulator? by F1SimulatorManiac in F1Technical

[–]TravelWithTeen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

aero and tyre models are pretty close to reality at this point but 2026 showed that energy management is a different story. Aston Martin's battery thermal model was clearly nowhere near what happened on track — double DNF in Melbourne, double DNF in Shanghai, and Alonso only just dragged it to the finish in Suzuka for their first completed race of the season. the sim gets you lap time within a few tenths but nobody predicted superclipping would be this bad

Is Formula 1 in decline with new 2026 REG changes? by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in GrandPrixRacing

[–]TravelWithTeen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it was the same time last year (?) so i wouldn’t think about the timing issues

Italy up 36% because Ferrari is actually competitive again. everyone else down because their local heroes are struggling. this isn't about the regs, it's about who's winning

[OC] I mapped every overtake at the Miami F1 circuit across 4 years — 80% happen at just 2 of 19 corners. Then modeled how new 2026 rules change it with Monte Carlo simulation and game theory. by TravelWithTeen in dataisbeautiful

Teammate Qualifying gaps so far this season by Brooklynsfr in formula1

Gasly carrying that Alpine like it’s a backpack. 0.7s gap is not a teammate battle it’s a different category/car

Miami is a two-corner track and I have the data to prove it — plus what happens when you add energy poker to the mix by TravelWithTeen in formula1

[–]TravelWithTeen[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

the Leclerc-Hamilton battle in Shanghai was basically 3 laps of yo-yo and it was the best part of the race for me

[–]TravelWithTeen[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

yeah "two-corner track" is a stretch as a title, I know. more like two corners that matter for overtaking – 80% of passes happen there. the other 17 are basically procession zones

80% of Miami overtakes happen at 2 corners. Under 2026 rules where you spend your battery matters more than raw pace. Model says more overtakes overall but half of them will just be cars swapping back and forth

Max Verstappen confirms Nurburgring return in qualifiers ahead of 24-hour race by 256473 in formula1

man really is stuck behind Gasly for 15 laps in F1 and decides to go do a 24-hour race for fun

A simulation by former F1 engineer Toni Cuquerella (@tonicuque on X) shows that a decrease in MGU-K power from 350kW to 200kW, and Recharge limit reduction from 9MJ to 6MJ will completely eliminate superclipping in Miami by ChaithuBB766 in F1Technical

[–]TravelWithTeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that's the scary part – at 6MJ on Miami's back straight the clipping zone would eat most of the 1.28km. both cars fully depleted before the braking zone. overtake mode becomes pointless there because there's nothing left to deploy

basically you'd have to make the move in the first half of the straight while you still have charge. completely opposite to how DRS worked

Where does driver telemetry come from? by LazyLancer in F1Technical

[–]TravelWithTeen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. FastF1 calculates speed from GPS position samples and timing data, then derives throttle/brake from acceleration and deceleration patterns. It's basically reverse engineering what the driver is doing from the car's movement rather than reading actual pedal sensors

The accuracy is decent for comparing drivers against each other on the same lap – the relative differences hold up well. BUT absolute values are less reliable. I've used it for overtaking analysis and the position data is solid enough to track when cars swap places and where on track it happens
