These regs suck. The drivers have been warning the FIA about exactly what happened to Bearman since before the season started.
They let Mercedes cheat with the compression ratio hack, then they accepted their bullshit excuse that their cheating aero was a “miscalculation” (as if the likes of excessive plank wear aren’t also “miscalculations”). It translates to racing that isn’t enjoyable to me to watch. I hope they figure it out but it won’t be this season.
Think it, be it.

@Tago-Mago I had to laugh at Max’s quote of trying to find the blue mushroom…
Edit my apologies for the misquote: “Finding the mushrooms is going quite well, the blue shells is a bit more difficult.

@mclaincausey It does suck, it’s a joke. I hope they come to their senses during the meetings in April and the fix is as easy as adjusting the power for more full-time bias rather than the revolving battery charging fake battles.

Stroll shines again......

@WhiskeySandwich I worry that there isn’t really a fair way out of this that doesn’t damage investments made based on the regs as the stand. I’m hoping there’s a move like removing the AI battery management that can make racing back at the edges again while not unfairly disadvantaging teams.
The whole thing has kind of soured me on hybrid PUs. Which shouldn’t be the case because they are so fast when built correctly.

@mclaincausey I’m sure the order could be shuffled but given that the adjustable parameters in the regs could/should have been considered and implemented by the teams since the cars inception, I would hope they’re prepared and adapt. The first few races as a test before adjustments are made makes sense when covering such vast changes like this gen has. Regardless, one team or another is sure to lose out and be sour about any changes made.
