Was only during quali and at the end of a hot lap when they would be out of the way to anyone else
The problem is that they weren't out of the way. The cars were stopping on track to prevent from being in the S's at Japan when other cars were coming through.
Since they were in limp mode they didn't even have enough power to get out the way. Don't have enough engine power to spool up the turbo.

fricking stupid comments... Your sport is in a tailspin, the drivers outside of Hamilton hate the new regulations, the fans hate it, your viewership is down 30-40% across most of Europe, youre deleting/hiding all the negative social media comments on your pages (look at comments on that tweet, 100% negative), and you come out and basically say "you don't know what you're talking about, don't believe your lying eyes"

What a moronic thing to say. The regs suck, we all hate it and they are unsafe because it takes the drivers out of control of the car.
From Norris's comments about it overtaking on it's own and Bearman's 50G crash at Suzuka due to speed differences, its time to make a real change starting with Domenicali.

That’s a man who is either clueless about what’s going on or he is toeing the company line no matter what the results say

I bet they want to limit the in car footage to where they aren't clipping. That's where you can really tell what's happening.

Sounds like they are gonna do the bare minimum to survive this regulation before major changes for the next set of regulations. He’s toeing the line, he won’t talk bad about the current rules while admitting the next will go in a different direction.
He is also begging drivers and others involved not to talk bad about the series that made them all rich.

Dude is just trying to gaslight us on what "artificial" means.

DRS was artificial to some people.

They've already been caught editing in car footage... The whole thing is a huge clusterfrick.
Like someone in the comments put "Dude ruined Ferrari and now he's ruining F1 as a whole"

To me it seems like a cheat code built in to compensate for deficiencies in the car design.

I don't disagree but it's become a necessity to have some mechanism to level the playing field when you're not running a spec car series. For example, even regional amateur racing will use weight penalties to try to make better racing. I've raced plenty of cars that were over 1000lbs lighter than mine because they had a different setup.

I get this sentiment but how do you address the massive advantage of clean air? Car A could be significantly worse than Car B but because Car A has clean air Car B is not capable of passing. I believe this is the scenario they were trying to address with DRS. Car B did have to show it was better by catching up to Car A in the first place. Without DRS, if every race turned into Monaco, would that be a good thing? Is that car design deficiencies or is it the nature of open wheel racing?

Looks like Libery Media is a hold up on fixing the regulations because the easiest fix would be “contrary to the message Fomula 1 would like to convey”
Are they really willing to sacrifice to series just to push an electric car agenda.
“ The problem is that this road is encountering significant resistance, especially if we are talking about a reduction of 100 (250 kW) or even 150 kW (200 kW). Some teams believe that the technical balance would be too altered. But above all there is the negative position of Liberty Media, which would agree only for a touch-up, not on reducing the electrical component too much that would risk going in the opposite direction with respect to the technological and commercial message on which Formula 1 has invested with the 2026 regulation.”

WTF would be different than their green agenda messaging. Its not like have been advertising "the series saves xxxx amount of carbon through the batteries put in the cars"... They just say that are forward thinking and committed to sustainable practices, which they still are, just not as much as before in the grand scheme of things.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I’m surprised Liberty Media cares about this, I figured all they cared about was maximizing viewers. It’s not like anybody started watching F1 because of its green agenda. We already have electric racing series, formula 1 needs to go back to being formula 1, the fastest cars with the drivers brave enough to push them.

Messaging and brand strategy is what has advanced the sport under them. Them being concerned about the messaging change doesn't mean they are veto'ing ideas to push some ideals. Might just mean that they have some data that says changing the message could have a negative impact.

Is the boost button for Indy Car artificial?

This is the fallacy when bringing up artifical. Tire requirements can be artifical. Letting your teammate pass is artifical. Blue flags are artificial. Fuel imbalance is artificial.

Very true, Indy Car is certainly fun to watch right now. They have great drivers, cars and good competition
