Crys🏎️💨

The recharge limit in qualifying will be reduced from 8MJ to 7MJ

This reduction will ensure that more of the lap is run flat out with less need for energy recovery tactics

The super clipping recharge allowance will be increased from 250MW to 350MW

This will occur in both qualifying and the race and will reduce the amount of time that a car spends recharging

A new low power detection system has been developed

This will trigger automatic MGU-K deployment to ensure a minimum level of acceleration at starts

Wet Weather Changes

Increased tyre blanket temperatures, reduced maximum ERS deployment and simplified rear light systems

Boost mode changes

The low power detection system should avoid situations like the Lawson - Colapinto near miss, when Lawson was slow off the grid.

The recharge allowance being increased along with the boost restrictions should decrease the likelihood of situations like Colapinto and Bearman where you have these insane closing speeds, between a slower car and a faster one.

It's Oscar's turn for some testing
