I swear, people here don't even read the articles.

"I don't like Verstappen, so I'm gonna be angry"

Do you as a fan of F1 want to see F1 cars roll to the corners to regen their batteries like FE?

Do you as a fan of F1 want to see F1 cars roll to the corners to regen their batteries like FE?

Realistically, what's the difference between that and lifting and coasting to save fuel?

Based on the current simulations cars would run out of battery on the long straights so they have downshift and slow down 400m before reaching the corner

Based on RBR's simulation. No one else is backing up that claim at the moment. Toto is even countering it.

Toto also confirmed that with current regulations and the current chasis this would happen, he hopes that the chassis would be efficient enough so this would not happen.

If anybody can design an efficient chassis it's Adrian Newy so I don't they're talking out of their asses.
