That's not driving.
That's not...
motorsport and also this thing that Charles Leclerc and Esteban Ocon suffered in Shanghai this idea that you come off the throttle a tiny amount and then suddenly your whole energy algorithm resets itself and you lose a load of deployment later in a lap that
It's a way bigger penalty than you deserve for the amount of throttle you had to sacrifice somewhere else on the track.
That seems to have been eliminated by something that's not really been talked about so much.
They seem to have reprogrammed all of that in terms of what the regulations allow, and that shouldn't happen again.
And I'm happy about that.
I think that's the kind of thing that...
that moves again the dial back towards kind of normal qualifying procedure the normal risk versus reward as oscar piastri puts it you shouldn't be be being rewarded for being way more conservative than another driver in a qualifying lap so i think that balance will be better
Let me do an audio-friendly celebration.
Well, can it be as chaotic as the COVID era Turkish Grand Prix, particularly the first one?
As long as they resurface it and don't tell everyone how bad the surface is, I think it's a brilliant return to the Canada because I think that race stands out from recent years as one of the most fun to watch.
No, Turkey I don't believe rotates.
So Turkey is fully on for the length of the contract, is it?
So that's interesting, because that's a proper return, isn't it?
I'm a bit concerned about these rotating races, like how viable is it to do that?
year-on, year-off thing.
It's happened in the past, hasn't it?
I think Spa did it once before and it was challenging.
So at least Turkey isn't in that camp of, oh, we put all this effort in, spend all this money, and then the next year, oh, sorry, can't do this.
