2025/2026 Hybrid Powerunit speculation

So you also believe in axial-flux motors/generators?

It would be interesting if they tried front regen. It seems better suited for F1 with the better power density.

If you really want to make the racing unsafe, you could simply specify cable-operated drum brakes. Much cheaper.

Braking earlier and from less speed in most cases, would be safer.

No!!!

Slowing the car for the next corner is not the only reason for having brakes. If an obstacle suddenly appears on the track ahead, would you prefer the car's stopping distance to be 100m or 300m?

There has never been a time in the history of Formula 1 where cars did not have enough braking retardation to exceed the coefficient of friction between tyre and track.
