The race played out exactly as expected. And we really need a fast reaction from the FIA and FOM.
The drivers can’t race in these cars, it’s nothing more than position swaps through battery dumps that then get reversed back to how it was unless a driver does an aggressive barge into the other guy. They’re too energy starved for the drivers to do anything but listen to their battery management engineer on where to lift or brake earlier to try and scour a tad more energy to use the overtake button.
George struggled to get past a 7-8 tenths per lap slower Ferrari, and needed a pit stop sequence. In the best car with the best PU by a mile. That’s where we are at.
I don’t recall a single non-lap-1 true racing move overtake - swapping spots temporarily via battery until the battery also swaps you back is not an “overtake”, and it’s certainly not racing. I’ll have to scour some highlights.
Needless to say, it’s what we thought it would be.
