Do overtakes when someone’s in the pit count?

You risk losing positions with your 2nd driver by protecting your 1st. I’m not sure other teams didn’t think about it, they may not have seen the benifits.

The extra stop just highlighted how terrible Monaco is.

I think they’re hoping the change will make taking an extra stop less costly, we could see more cars charging through the field with fresh tires. The problem is that if you make the pit stop cost too low everyone will come in and there will be no differing strategies.

All punts are not from the 20, that’s why average punt distance is not a good metric some punts are from the 30 some the 40, and even some from the 50.

And why pray tell do they not try to kick it the furthest every punt?

Touchbacks

10 yards of field position could be the difference between winning and losing.

So could the 40 yards they gain by no throwing the ball away.

Average isn’t the metric to use, punters don’t try to kick it their farthest every punt, most punts are within a punters range.

10 yards of field position is worth a chance at a big play.

On 3rd down (out of field goal range) if your choices are dump it down for a short gain and no first, or hold it and risk getting sacked but have the opportunity at a big play the penalty for the sack is not that high. Punting from your 40 vs your 30 doesn’t change much, NFL punters can all punt over 65 yards.

I’ve never understood why taking “unnecessary sacks” is bad. On 3rd holding the ball allows for big plays I’d risk losing 10 yards for a chance to gain 40.

Fast cars are spectacle, slow heavy ones are not. It’s why semi truck racing ia less popular than f1.

It’s not lack of resources that causes FE cars to be so much slower than F3 cars it’s the batteries. F1 budgets are a tiny fraction of the R&D being spent on batteries.

If you told teams they had 200kg min for fuel, engine, motor, and battery and left the rest up to them teams would not be using motors and batteries. From a racing pov they slow the car down.

The electric motor has been around longer than the combustion engine, there’s no major breakthroughs to be had there either. The only piece that to innovate on are batteries. Currently batteries are not energy dense enough for f1, fe cars are slower than f3 cars.

Technology making cars faster is what f1 is about. The v10 made 1,000 hp and weighed 120kg, the motor & engine in today’s cars make about 1,000hp but weigh close to 200kg when battery, motor, and engine are considered.

The v10 may be dead as a passenger engine but for a race engine it’s still superior.

Electric motors and batteries have less performence per kg compared to an engine and fuel. If rules were changed and teams were allowed 300KG for an engine, fuel, motor, and battery you’d see teams use motors and batteries even less than then they do now.

He was terrible when he started but got significantly better, now he’s almost good.

Selling Ferraris at huge markups to have a v10 engine in it seems like a good reason. They could call it the Le Ham.

Who would have thought a cancerous scumbag with pending sexual assult lawsuits was not worth 3 1st, 1 3rd, 2 4th round picks and 230 million guaranteed over 5 years.

There were two winners in that deal, the Texans and David Mulugheta.

F1 cars weigh 800kg without fuel. Fully fueled, they’re heavier than FE cars.

Current f1 cars with heavy hybrid systems are. F1 cars without those weight 605 kg.

You will like NASCAR they use heavy cars and pass each other back and forth all the time.

Then follow one. F1 clearly isn’t for you then. Good bye.

F1 is getting lighter, once they get rid of the fat pig hybrid system they be much lighter.

OK, cool. Still not 300kg more than a FE car like you claimed. Seems your source is a donkey.

I see you’re bad at math 856 - 605 = 251 which is nearly 300kg.

My source is Mario Illien. If Mario misspoke, send a letter of complaint to:

Got caught in a lie, claim someone else told you that but don’t give a source.

Anyhow: FE has no problem producing exciting races with actual overtakes in Monaco.

If overtakes are your metric for a good car than NASCAR cars are for you, they have hundreds of overtakes at Daytona.

His approach for a change this is fully electric propulsion with a very simple and much much lighter ICE as generator and relatively few battery cells. This is somewhat similar to the approach of Audi RS Q e-tron.

I personally prefer fast light cars but if the nissian leaf racing league is your jam more power to you.

Formula 1 2025: Minimum weight WITHOUT driver and fuel: 800kg (Source)

1st 800kg is with the driver source

2nd I’m not using the minimum weigh of an F1 car with the heavy pig hybrid system, that weight is 605kg. Source

The lie is that the hybrid system in its current form is what makes F1 cars heavy. That’s factually not the case. It’s 20kg out of 800kg.

Was this where you got that claim. ES weight is 20-25kg, 7 kg min for the mgu-k and ERS min of 30.6, that doesn’t include extra weight in transmission for hybrid system, wiring, ES safety system, or extra weight for battery and mgu-k mounting.
