Why are you here

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@brakeboosted I don't believe so. It's similar to Shanghai, atleast from my sims.

[Formula 1 @F1]

New upgrades and Alonso delivers 👊

#F1 #HungarianGP

So I was playing around with my sim to see the effects of the 2027 reg changes, and it independently discovered the 'lift-off to bypass ramp-down' trick. 🤣 I'm proud

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@brakeboosted @HenryWi86212968 The FIA didn't even think that with how energy starved these regs will be, that there might be problems for drivers because of the deployment algorithms? It's so stupid.

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@brakeboosted @HenryWi86212968 While this is true, the way the software works is so much worse this year, because of the ramp-down rate, speed-dependent power curve, Power Limited Pending, grip-limited zones, power-reduced sectors, higher speed threshold sectors, MGU-K reduction reset points. It's a giant mess

Oscar Piastri on the 2026 power units:

“It sucks. I can’t really say it any other way than that. When you’ve got qualifying grids decided by computers behaving or misbehaving, it’s a pretty crappy way of going racing.”

@MattiaBarzaghii That makes sense, but why wasn't his ICE not even delivering full power? You need 10,500 RPM for the maximum power from ICE, which wasn't the case. If it was purely down to no battery, he should've atleast had engine power.

[Formula Data Analysis @FDataAnalysis]

Russell took Eau Rouge/Raidillon in 8th gear: McLaren used 7th despite having the shortest gear ratios on the grid, while ANT even briefly dropped to 6th!

Could the deployment software have been fooled by taking these corners in the highest gear? His rpm dropped to 10,176, below the 10,500 rpm threshold required to unlock full fuel flow → the ICE wasn't even running at full power!

@nws13 @dr_obbs I think with the change, the ride heights would be similar to 2021 cars. So i don't think it will be anywhere near GE era low.

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@dr_obbs Why is reducing floor load a good step forward? For better energy management?

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@m_lubieniecki Well done

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@brakeboosted They're gonna lose so much speed due to the drag increase in 16-17. Could've been avoided so easily

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@brakeboosted Also, why is there no zone into Pouhon? There should've been. It's one of the remaining challenges of Spa

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@m_lubieniecki @TonyFromDiscord I haven't implemented elevation yet, because I have no clue how to integrate the z coordinates from FastF1 and the x and y coords from the GitHub data you showed me. They are slightly mismatched because of smoothing, wrapping, FastF1 frequency being lower etc. so need to fix that

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@m_lubieniecki @TonyFromDiscord It's doing it on its own. I'm proud of it😂. I have no experience with stuff like this, purely decided to do it because of interest in F1.

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@m_lubieniecki @TonyFromDiscord Yours is far more advanced, obviously. I haven't implemented the exception sectors.

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@m_lubieniecki @TonyFromDiscord Here's the output I got for Montreal

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@m_lubieniecki @TonyFromDiscord I made a sim too, incorporating the ICE and the MGU-K. I used pre-set shift speeds and it's working pretty well.

[CaffeineAd @CoffeeStupify]

@m_lubieniecki @TonyFromDiscord I think the solution to this is that ICE power through corners depends a lot on the gears drivers are in. So modeling an ICE as a proper drivetrain instead of a magic 400kW provider might fix the problem. Drivers are being told to hold 7th gear in certain straights, for example
