The problem with this is the Olly Bearman crash. Closing speeds vastly different. It's not the same as tyre management in the past where they'd go a few seconds a lap slower. You had one driver super clipping and another in overtake mode.
I have nothing against electric in general. But if you look at the qualifying error that Leclerc made in China I think, where he had the rear end slip, lifted off the throttle to save it, then the ECU said, oh you were less than 95% throttle you naughty boy, now you must have full energy deployment for the next straight and he ran out of battery before the end of the lap because the rules are written than you must use an equal power split (IE no driving round on full ICE to save the battery).
It's utter madness.
This.
And fundamentally the action is also feeling more manufactured. Yes there is more passing, but it's often due to a difference in energy storage vs deployment at that point in time, and can quickly swap back around. I do find myself (like the loss of trust that AI has impacted on any cool video you see nowadays) not fully believing the pass has been done, because you don't know what energy levels the overtaken car is building up to deploy a few corners later.
