This is Formula E on steroids just as Max said.03-04-2026 23:15

It does imply honesty as interpreted by most people. Regardless, we all know Max is the most honest in sharing his feelings. Furthermore, Max has been correct on his criticism of the sport. Bearman's accident and the comments of most every driver confirm this. Multiple polls here show 90% of fans agree with Max's points of criticism.02-04-2026 07:27

Hey Legend, when using quotation marks to quote someone, it is correct to use double quotation marks, not single quotation marks. Also, the closing quotation mark goes after the period ending the sentence. I thought as a Brit you would know that.02-04-2026 07:22

Read my post above to Cristi. Weak minds think alike. The magnitude of overtake mode and the separate boost mode are at an entirely different level than DRS. The problem is that the needle has moved too far. DRS was far more subtle. These push button modes also allow weaker drivers like Lewis to be competitive.01-04-2026 00:45

Very poor assessment. DRS was nothing like boost mode or the more intense overtake mode. The difference is an instantaneous 50 km/hr increase in speed, not 18 km/hr max taking 15 seconds to take effect. You are in the minority. No one is comparing this push button overtake racing where the computer sometimes overrides the driver with last year's DRS. The point is this excessive energy management on top of the existing tire management limitations turns the sport from racing into a Formula E eco event.01-04-2026 00:39

Honda lost their chief engineer who designed the prior turbo hybrid PU and also the turbo PU from the 80s turbo era. I am hoping the young engineers at Honda can get it together and I was worried about Honda Sakura without Arai, who retired. There is no question however, that once Honda got their PU together in the last years of the prior turbo hybrid era that it was CLEARLY the best PU in the field. It took 4 championships, had far higher reliability than the Mercedes unit and produced the highest peak output, tied with Ferrari. It was more reliable under high load and had less failures than any other unit. Honda was also far and away the best PU in the more competitive turbo era where output levels exceeded 1200 h.p and there was more competition. Honda was the benchmark in both generations and has more engine building pedigree than Mercedes.31-03-2026 03:08

I am fine with mid-field for Red Bull. The young drivers today are very likable. I do agree that any changes should not penalize those who are already doing well and the order should be preserved as best as possible. These changes are not just about safety. These changes are about safety and the non-sensical nature of how these cars are driven. Max was the first to advocate and now it turns out he was right. Lando and Charles agree completely. However, the normal brainless crew here, who will go unnamed, criticized Max's initial criticisms. Turns out Max was being honest and he was right. The brainless crew here however supported this DEI-based Formula E version of Formula 1 which is somewhat anti-racing as Lewis and Charles said. Now the overwhelmingly negative concensus is clear and the GPblog brainless crew was on record supporting "Formula E on steroids." What I will say however, is that the acceleration of these cars is massive. Far stronger than before. The problem is that they cannot sustain it with the energy limitations. I am in awe of the acceleration which is due to the extreme high torque of the electric component providing instantaneous power. I do like that a lot.31-03-2026 02:58

These cars look super slow at Suzuka, especially through 130R where they lose 50 km/hr over last year. These cars do not flow through the high speed stuff. They are decelerating in regen well before 130R all the way to the right-hand turn. Very sad. They do seem to accelerate quickly though but just can't sustain it given battery limitations.28-03-2026 04:07

I would like to hear Mech Engineer's take on these contrived regulations.25-03-2026 16:16

Overtake mode, boost mode, and active aero mode are too many gimmicks. Also, if you read the technical specs. for power deployment, they are massively more complex than before with limits on regen deceleration, minimum speeds of when electric power can be deployed, different maximum rates of deployment depending on conditions, and other nonsense. Now they are manipulating what is considered a straight to avoid the embarrassment of super clipping becoming very visible. People like F1nut with little ability to discriminate and even less racing experience see no problem with this.25-03-2026 16:15
