I don't trust the F1oversteer as a reliable source of F1 rumour
The announcement of GP 's timing gives hint that he might either stay by Verstappen's side or be put on garden leave in 2027 to be honest.
GP was suppose to be going to Williams or Aston Martin so I wonder what made him get cold feet about the latter

Due to excessive whining from Max Verstappen and the risk of the world's best racing drivers not being able to drive around each other at high speed, the FIA have announced some major tweaks to the rules before the next race.
Driver's will now need to calculate the root mean square of the power curve on the third corner of every odd numbered lap in order to deploy 33 percent battery power unless their birthday is on a Tuesday in which case they must clap hands twice before entering the braking zone of a left hander.
Or something like that anyway

isnt there more recharging allowed. i believe to make sure that qualifying is more flat out. & i think more in the race but i guess we'll find out in miami again

From what I understood, it was allowing an increase in the rate of recharging - so that superclipping could be much quicker, but that less recharging would be allowed on any given lap.
From what I understand, I don't understand a bloody thing.

im with you on that, 2014 engines are childs play in comparisonFrom what I understand, I don't understand a bloody thing.
It's bonkers
I love the tech in F1. Quirky or clever designs like flexible wings don't bother me in the slightest. I've got an interest in engineering and spent the best part of a decade as an electrical and electronic engineer.
And yet I haven't got a clue about the current F1 technical regulations or even the very nature of how the car is driven.

For me, the biggest problem is that the behaviour of the powertrain is determined by the regs, rather than the driver (or even the team). I want to see the drivers choosing when to discharge and recharge energy... It wouldn't take much to have a paddle on either side of the steering wheel. Certainly, I don't want to see cars just decide to accelerate (or decelerate) without any driver input - which is what is currently happening!
I felt similar about the DRS.
I couldn't stand how fake it was but if we have to suffer it, let the drivers use it as and when. Maybe place a restriction on the maximum length of time it could be used or number of times in a race but if a driver wants to bang it open mid way through a corner, let him.

Couldn't agree more... This sort of area is one that Touring Cars got much better... Even in the 80s, with the boost button, drivers were limited, based on the amount of fuel that they were carrying, but they could use it whenever they wanted!
