2015 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Yeah before the new Fia monitoring standards. I think they were somehow maintaining higher than necessary fuel pressure and somehow storing the excess fuel for when it was needed.

 

Yeah but the supposedly boosted fuel flow rates were only a short duration thing like for qualifying , not race pace like Ferrari's obvious improvement in lap time over an entire race distance

Verdict on the proposed F1 Strategy Group changes

Tomorrow is Victoria Day , it's a long weekend

 

F1 rule changes , what do they mean for the future of the sport ?

In the article they mention having less gears to increase rpm without changes to fuel flow rate. I still think they would be using more rpm now if they could, but they can't, and don't have any reason to.

 

They currently shift at a lower RPM because that's where the power band is with the current engine / transmission set ups

 

New Strategy Group proposals would undo much of Overtaking Group's work
