F1 is lucky the race in Jeddah got cancelled. The track is so fast yet still narrow, it would have been a carnage, and not because of any missile.

We still have the straight in Baku to see the carnage. Yes it's wide but there wont be much marging for reactions if the lead car suddenly loses 80 kph.

Monaco could be interesting too, yes the harvesting wont be too harsh thanks to the numerous braking zones but you just need one to start superclipping coming up to casino or out of the tunel and it's going to be a mess.
 
Well we've got as close to admitting the rules are shit as it is possible to get from the FIA.

Weren't they planning to have 2 mandatory poitstops for Monaco? They want to "improve" the experience

Forcing a 2 stop was just admitting that the modern cars are not a good fit for Monaco. It was a race where people only cared about qualifying, and now qualifying is a lot less exciting due to battery management. It's not even exciting as a leg of the triple crown because the way modern professional drivers are managed, they don't really get the chance to try for it. If an F1 team is paying you $50mil/year, they're not going you risk you getting injured or dying in the Indy 500. Le Mans seems like the easier ask.

Alonso will probably be the last driver to even come close, and what ultimately prevented him from succeeding? His Honda engine exploded with 20 laps to go...

Its to make the new rules seem goofy. Yes they are, but max etc openly calling em mushrooms embarrasses the whole fia. Comparing f1 to mario kart, a kids game everyone knows. Great play calling it "safety concerns" btw, and yes, they are, but again, openly calling them that makes it something they gotta address now, instead of "this sucks, i cant go fast"

I think the only way forward would be for the FIA to take the L and order that the electric power units be disabled for the rest of 2026, and then revert to the previous rules for the 2027 season. Sure it'd assfuck Audi and Cadillac pretty hard, but the former deserves it as they were the ones pushing for these rules in the first place.

Because apparently, nobody's going to bother to listen to one of the heads of the GDPA.

Max making a mockery of the regs seems to be the only thing that's going to move the needle. Carlos playing fucking diplomat sure as fuck isn't.

The main problem with the current hybrids is that they don't have enough electrical energy and that the best ways to recharge the battery are banned.

I propose doubling the capacity of the battery, allowing front axle MGU-Ks, and bringing back the MGU-H (which by the way is available on road cars like the 911 GTS and several AMG Mercedes).
