2025/2026 Hybrid Powerunit speculation

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

There's, effectively, zilch boost and consequential torque available to carry out traditional style rear tyre heating as previously done on formation lap.

Same as start, needs extreme revs to build anything like the torque curve needed to complete this. Otherwise its a 1600cc atmo pu against massive rear tyre traction.
It would probably risk both the clutch and 1st gear ratio integrity if attempted too.
