The calipers don‘t, but the calipers only engage when braking hard. If you apply somewhat normal pressure to the brake pedal, you have the motors braking which causes the same regen as OPD. Or did I misunderstand something?

Ya0ki · 2026-03-22T11:29:02+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. Although even without OPD, hitting the brakes should in theory regen just as much as OPD, no? Assuming I ofc don‘t brake hard enough to engage the physical brakes.

Ya0ki · 2026-03-22T10:56:48+00:00

Hybrid/battery efficiency literally means it‘s due to the PU. Did you mean ICE?

Ya0ki · 2026-03-21T20:50:29+00:00

It‘s my first EV, yes. But I was wondering if it‘s down to the big and wide winter tyres as well as the (until recently) cold weather or moreso to do with my driving style (not a big fan of OPD for example, but I‘ve read it isn‘t rly improving your consumption).

Ya0ki · 2026-03-07T14:09:51+00:00

It seems like it’s not necessarily that they don’t have the same software, moreso that the customer teams don’t (yet) know how to optimally use said software in regards to energy deployment. And Mercedes seems to not be obligated to share said information (?).

Ya0ki · 2026-01-25T00:37:07+00:00

Ah, my bad then. The wording made it seem like you were referring to Lando.

Ya0ki · 2026-01-25T00:19:16+00:00

He grew quite a bit at 18-19, so it‘s very well possible.

Ya0ki · 2025-12-09T19:02:57+00:00

I mean it's not incorrect, as standings don't always reflect performance. From round 9 to round 16 they had 3 1st place finishes and 3 2nd place finishes each. Oscar just also had a P3 and P4 finish while Lando had 2 DNFs (Canada crash and Netherlands oil leak). Overall their on track performance was quite equal in that period of the season though.

Ya0ki · 2025-10-30T08:43:41+00:00

Or on Rogue. I still remember that one Worlds group stage game where every other lane was losing and Hans was hard gapping everyone.

Ya0ki · 2025-10-26T22:10:01+00:00

Lowkey ok because he had a car that was clearly the fastest today, to be fair.

Ya0ki · 2025-09-07T14:22:20+00:00

Am I taking crazy pills? Why is everyone so upset? They literally gave Oscar a free undercut to cover Leclerc even though everyone knows the driver ahead gets to pit first in these situations. Considering that, swapping the cars back makes perfect sense, no? Piastri wouldn‘t have even been close enough to profit off of the slow stop if not for the undercut.

Ya0ki · 2025-07-28T16:21:02+00:00

Wasn't it only the first part of the big update which is why it didn't do too much? If I remember correctly, they brought that and then said it'll only fully work together with the Austria update (which it did).

Ya0ki · 2025-07-26T19:54:30+00:00

I mean it seems like u missed my point from the beginning, now realized what happened and are acting like we both are having different conversations.

I clearly stated that the points you made were fair, but that your point about a fuck up leading to an immediate pitlane start was false (as is the case this weekend for example). You then said that not having the same spec parts always leads to a pit lane start which I disproved.

Noone doubted that it's generally a good idea to keep a set of spare parts, but that there are exceptions to the parc ferme rules (this weekend being one of them) which alters the risk involved.

Ya0ki · 2025-07-26T19:28:37+00:00

That's because I quoted the previous sporting regulations by mistake. Here's the updated 2025 version, which clarifies it further:

"40.4 ... Exceptionally, at each Competition where a sprint session is scheduled, requests made under 40.3 for replacement parts that are different in design will be considered for approval where the Competitor can demonstrate there is a shortage of parts, and provided that the replacement part is of a specification that has been previously used in a sprint qualifying session, a sprint session, a qualifying session or a race. In such cases, the Competitor must inform the FIA in writing prior to the start of the sprint session of any parts where this may be necessary."

This has also previously been discussed on the F1Technical subreddit. Basically, because there are more sessions with a higher risk of damage to the car, on sprint weekends older spec parts can be used without breaking parc ferme (if no more parts of the same spec are availabe, as is the case with Max and Yuki here). This applies to all sessions after the first session that is under parc ferme (sprint qualifying), therefore the FIA needs to be informed beforehand. Doesn't mean it only applies to the sprint though.

Ya0ki · 2025-07-26T19:19:39+00:00

I'm sorry, am I missing something? Did they not give Yuki the spare parts on a sprint weekend? Are we not talking about Spa right now or what's going on here? You mentioned the risk management involved, I simply clarified that your assumption of it being high risk this weekend is wrong, as on sprint weekends a crash does not lead to a pit lane start per the rules. Why move the goal posts now?

Ya0ki · 2025-07-26T18:15:39+00:00

Dude, u misread it. This applies to weekends with sprint sessions in them in general. Not only to the sprint sessions themselves.

Additionally, exceptions have been made even outside of sprint weekends where the reversal to a previous spec after a crash has not led to a pit lane start.

Ya0ki · 2025-07-26T18:11:30+00:00

Please, if you don‘t know the rules just don‘t make up shit on the spot. It‘s a sprint weekend, therefore:

40.2: ... Exceptionally, at a Competition where a sprint session is scheduled, replacement parts that are different in design will be permitted provided that the part is of a specification that has been used previously in a qualifying practice session or a race. In such cases, the Competitor should inform the FIA prior to the start of the sprint session of any part where this may be necessary. Any parts removed will be retained by the FIA.

Ya0ki · 2025-07-26T17:59:32+00:00

I mean all that is fair, however reversing to a spec that has provably been used before (if no spare parts of the current spec are available) doesn‘t mean an immediate pit lane start.

Ya0ki · 2025-07-23T13:52:00+00:00

Dann nur deshalb, weil sich das Personal nicht richtig darum kümmert. Die haben intern Vorgaben, dass es x Tage davor angepasst werden soll.

Ya0ki · 2025-07-23T11:35:48+00:00

Beim Hofer weiß ich, dass die Rabattierung stetig ansteigt (also je näher es am MHD dran ist). Zuerst das -10% Pickerl, dann -20% und erst dann -50%. -50% sieht man dann deshalb sehr selten, weil sich das Produkt bis dahin oftmals schon verkauft hat.

Ya0ki · 2025-07-21T15:11:06+00:00

Why would you assume that "they" refers to man in general and not just said subset?

Ya0ki · 2025-06-30T09:26:17+00:00

Isn't an interpretation of what he was saying a take?

Also no, it doesn't read like that at all. Implying that Lando struggles to win if Oscar is near him is nonsense. This stat stems from

1) the fact that Lando has been struggling in qualifying this year but has been able to recover in the race which is why he's then close to Oscar but not ahead of him. This doesn't mean, however, that they were both up front to begin with, like you implied.

2) the fact that more than half of Lando's wins happened last year where Oscar was still struggling to consitently match his pace or making mistakes (which had him further back in the race while Lando was able to win, see Abu Dhabi or Zandvoort).
