a complete abomination to motorsport
like a 100m dash with the runners jogging a couple times to rest watching the driver onboards is so sad. coasting through iconic high speed corners. engine clipping and car slowing down in the middle of the straight.

you guessed it. the left doesn’t find anything it isn’t willing to ruin
problem 1. long straights. have to lift and coast and maybe even brake. even in qualifying
problem 2. high speed corners. which really sets (set) f1 apart. nope. not anymore. taking a corner as fast as the physics of the car allows will no longer be an option. have to take them slow now to charge the absurd amount of battery blindly written into the regulations. problem 3. overtaking. nope. not enough energy in the battery. maybe for a few races until everyone figures about the exact way to extract the most energy and everyone will do the same thing so any deltas in strategy will soon be gone. this happened over the course of a few hours in testing for example. of course max figured out a weird strategy and by the next day everyone was doing it. everything a driver does can be seen by every team in data. it’s a dire situation for drivers and real fans
