You just said what he is trying to tell you. They are going faster than the driver wants. That’s not what racing is another is it safe

They are going faster than the driver expected. They didn't expect the extra power.
Let off the accelerator. Proven to work.

Let's see if I'm smart enough to coherently express what I'm thinking (doubtful):
FT is saying the driver shouldn't press the gas as much if they don't want to go fast. That's logical.
I think the issue is there is still variability in the battery deployment at equal throttle pressures. Like, it's not a predictable or consistent power curve, both at acceleration and 100% throttle. Sometimes, the car will decide to deploy 100% battery at 60% throttle pressure, and other times it will deploy 60% battery at 60% throttle pressure, and there's no way the driver knows what the car is going to do each time they press the gas. Do I have that right? Is that what the driver argument is? I haven't watched said video being debated, so I may be all wrong.

F1 drivers have the fastest reaction times in the world. That didn't help Ollie Bearman avoid getting into a world of hurt. No one blamed Bearman for crashing because he didn't lift quick enough.

Yes that is the issue... When they let off the accelerator, sometimes the car is changing modes and when they get back on it, its distributing more battery power than they want bc it shouldn't be in that mode.
So if Lando is looking to set up a pass in a straight away after turn 2... Lando going into turn 1 lets off the accelerator and wants to be 70% throttle through 1 into 2 and then overtake with 100% throttle and battery after 2 to hold the pass.
The car is fricking up and when he applies the accelerator at 70% after turn 1, the battery is deploying more than it should and shooting him ahead of who he's chasing... Once through turn 2, he ends up giving up place bc battery exhausted. That is the forced overtake he is referencing.

Pretty much. I think the accelerator provides different power based on the engine setting and etc etc.
But yes, it appears the program can get lost if the driver does something unexpected. Usually there seems to be a readout on the screen but that is of little help when following .002 behind someone.
Some savvy drivers seem to have figured this trick out and have used it to their advantage while defending. Forcing the following driver into an error and in result setting up for the easy pass back.

This is a good article explaining the different modes. It’s not a button they press to swap, it all depends on giving it full throttle for a set amount of time to get into a lower power mode designed so they can go thru the turns at full throttle using only ICE power. If they interrupt this for any reason( Correcting a small snap, having to account for other cars on the track) the system defaults back to full power. It’s a swing of 100KW of electrical power deployment that the driver is not in full control of.

Then its not racing if the driver has no control. And electrics is a gimmick just like plate racing is in Nascar cup

As stated...this isn't new. The engine mapping has had these issues for years. (Spain 2016 is a good example)
Just not as noticeable.

Special Miami Cadillac Livery reveled Tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be the only one.

Early 2027 calendar has Bahrain and Saudi as the first two races for 2027.
Apparently the contract with Australia says they have to host 3 more openers before 2035 though.

I like the livery, hopefully they have improved other parts of the car ha.
Valteri was at Jim Beam earlier this week.

Saw that about the manufacturers earlier...
Only 16 months for a new engine. So they could announce new regs that start in 2028 instead of 2031 then. Fire up the V8 Turbo's they are considering

It’s going to look great wayyyyyyy wayyy back in the pack

Hidden behind a paywall, but see an article teased where Stefano says one of the two cancelled races may be added back in.

Saudi has been rumored for late in the year
