The race wasn't awful but the battery dominates like a massive anchovy on a tiny pizza - everything that happened was as a result of deployment or lack of.
Even the tyres got relegated to a secondary narrative.

During testing, I wrote about feeling optimism that the new regulations would be 'alright on the night' once we actually got into a competitive weekend.
But, seeing the realities of the new regulations, that optimism has vanished as quickly as the drivers use up their batteries.
There's no doubt these power units are exceptional pieces of engineering, and continue to showcase the usual brilliance of the manufacturers.
But it's difficult not to see the regulations now as anything but fundamentally flawed, and seeing cars unable to maintain their own momentum halfway down a not particularly long straight is not the direction #F1 should have travelled in.
It's an overly complicated mess, and I fear it's a massive misstep. This is nothing to do with competition, or the pecking order.
Seeing an F1 car essentially have its horsepower halved midway along a straight on a qualifying lap, before gently coasting into a corner like a pensioner heading out for mass, is not why any of us are here.

#AusGP || Lewis Hamilton talks about adapting to the new car and its challenges.
Lewis Hamilton: “It’s really just the deployment, is the biggest part. The rest of it is all kind of similar, familiar. But it’s just the deployment is so challenging and it’s different from track to track and we probably also don’t fully… we won’t know until we’re thrown into the deep end in the race to understand when we overtake someone, how it’s gonna affect us when coming out of that corner, managing that I think is gonna be difficult.”
“Some tracks you don’t have to do lift and coast for a single lap and in some places you have to do a lot of lift and coast for a qualifying lap. It can be a big difference between deployment of a second, if you don’t lift in one corner, for example turn 5 here, if you take it flat or if you lift, has a massive effect, compound effect through the rest of the lap. And you can do a good lap but you could be a second down because the deployment is off.”
We found a way to access Max Verstappen's passport, driver's license, and personal information. Along with every other @Formula1 driver's sensitive data.
It took us 10 minutes using one simple security flaw 🧵
