Not a fan of how much the "algorithm" controls deployment instead of the driver. A lot of it is caused by the rules enforcing certain deployment out of corners etc.

Are other drivers having the same issues?

    This graphic shows a closing speed of 92km/h

    Which looks accurate based on the video, but most places report ~45km closing speed. Which is true?

    Bearman's top speed freezes at 262 kph, his telemetry breaks up a lot before that point so I wouldn't really look at it. Colapinto's data looks fine and he's not driving at 170 there, his speed plateaus at 262 kph.

    If he's having a good time and you're not then it sounds like they've designed a better car...

    As a Hamilton fan, Two things can be true at the same time.

    This energy harvesting and deployment is just the new โ€œporpoisingโ€. The new regs have given the teams something they have no experience with.

    The teams will figure it out. Some will be better at adapting and development than others (see Ferrariโ€™s starts and how quickly Maclaren reached start parity). Thatโ€™s what makes F1 interesting and great compared to spec series like Indycar.

    I think the development battle is more interesting than the driver battle so Iโ€™m 100% here for it.

    Give it a few years and there'll be Mario Kart boost pads on the track.
