Saw a Brundle breakdown of the changes... apparently the car will be monitoring how the turbos are doing at start and if there aren't enough RPMs at lights out, the battery will increase and kick in to keep from a slow start like we've seen.
So just like Lando said with the overtakes and not being able to control, the starts will be controlled by the computers too.

We definitely need to out control of the cars back in the drivers hands
They are all super talented, not stroll, and we watch F1 to watch them take those machines to the edge

Just did some google searching and seeing nothing about Miami GP being on any platforms outside of AppleTV and not seeing it being free of charge...
Miami 2025 had 2.17m viewers on ABC. No chance Apple sniffs anywhere near that behind the paywall.

He needs to learn to take his foot off the accelerator if he is going too fast.

The best thing about the Apple deal is being able to watch the sky sports broadcast

Friday cant get here fast enough! I am ready for the 90 min FP to see the upgrade packages.

The great thing about this post is that it's not clear if you are being sarcastic (because the situation with the computer control is so ridiculous) or serious (because seriously, he needs to adjust to the current situation).
I mean, I'm going with sarcastic, but someone gave you a downvote so I think some people are taking it at face value.

Yeah, I don’t know. I feel like pedal input should always = consistent torque output unless you click a button or something on the steering wheel.

It does. People who think the car is accelerating on its own are misunderstanding the issue.

In a way it is... if they back off, the computer is resetting and when they accelerate, deploying more battery than the driver may want, leading to the increase in speed the drivers, like Lando don't want at that particlar moment.
He talks about it at the 45 second mark

Yep. When they hit the accelerator.
Don't do that so much to go slower. Do it more to go faster. It isn't a new concept.

They aren't trying to go slower, they are trying to maintain a position and wait to go full out until a particular point.
The car is forcing them to go full out even when they want a moderate increase just to maintain position prior to optimal passing locations.

Oh wait you're serious.
I think the problem is that Lando is saying that the computer is automatically deploying energy at unexpected moments, and that's causing issues. I think I read somewhere that there are circumstances (when something disrupts the normal acceleration/shifting/braking pattern) that confuses the computer, resulting in unexpected deployments.Posted on 4/27/26 at 1:14 pm to Lsut81
So your stance is that they have no modulation of the accelerator.
It is on/off.
With that view I now see your frustration with understanding this formula. I wonder how so many drivers were able to behind in turns 14/15 of China with the accelerator being binary.

Jesus Christ, watch the fricking video. It explains what is going on and exactly what Lando was complaining about.
Its not my stance, its the way it is... Which obviously had validity to it bc they are changing it

The first statement was "when he got back on the throttle"
Throttle and accelerator are used as the same here. Lando pushed the accelerator more than he needed to because he didn't understand the power available to him. Had he pushed the throttle or accelerator less he would have had less power.
The car was in a different engine mode than he intended.

He is clearly missing your point
A point that is backed with a video

Im well aware of what is happening. The cars are not accelerating on their own.
The modes are being mixed up and the drivers have more power than they believe they should have at the moments. They are calling for full power only to realize they have more than they thought they had.
Im not saying this isn't an issue Im just pointing out that the power isn't deploying on its own. The driver is deploying the power not realizing how much they have.
It's what put Oscar into the wall on his Australia out lap.
