This is wrong. Cars don't slow down when out of battery. They slow down when recharging.

.
Do you know what super clipping means?? Yes, cars do slow down when out of battery on the straight!

Well... This PU format is 50% ICE and 50% MGU-K so when the battery is empty you've lost 50% of your power (MGU-K portion). Also in the case of super clipping you're using the ICE to regen via MGU-K so that's even less power to the wheels.

Forgive me for a silly question, am I reading this wrong or does this mean the cars will be dawdling through turns 7-9 and 11-12 recharging and then blasting down the straights ?

I'd rather see racing through corners than a drag race down the straight.

This graph only shows where the SLM is. It says nothing about how teams use there engines.

Some people forget to seperate clipping and super clipping. But classic clipping we know from 2014 to 2022 is rare under this regs.

The entire F1 world is tipping the BOSS to win this.

I think it's a stretch with the performance of the Mercedes and RedBull. He will be lucky to podium. Even for the sprint.
