We've committed fully to this concept of regulations.

We've analysed it over, okay, only four races, but nevertheless gone, you know what?

Actually, on balance, this isn't working.

Even when the drivers are trying to play the game of...

towing the party line and staying on message.

They can't help but experience what they experience and relate the reality of that experience.

There's a great clip of Oscar Piastri in the cool-down room after Miami when he's raced, I think it's Charles Leclerc.

Leclerc makes a mistake and he passes him and then gets repassed because somehow the Leclerc mistake means his deployment is better than Piastri's deployment in that following straight.

It's just a ridiculous scenario.

So even though qualifying was always the worst thing

example of these regulations you still saw the same things bleed into the races at certain points and it's it's become almost indefensible so the fact they've gone you know what in the round we just have to move on from this as quickly as possible and take every practical step we can do to get there as quickly as possible i think is to be applauded so big picture a big thumbs up at this direction and we'll be back in a moment to discuss some of the problems that arise from this

Well, unless you make your fuel more efficient so that you're not burning through quite so much.

So that wouldn't impact your efficiency?

Because, I mean, maybe I'm wrong about the current fuel rules, but certainly under the previous ones, yeah, there's a fuel flow limit, not...

calorific volumetric but there was still a gain based on how efficient your combustion process was with that fuel right so the size of your fuel tank related to that and you could have a smaller or bigger tank based on actually how much fuel you were going to burn through and you could fuel lighter if you were burning through less

So surely if you're increasing the fuel flow rate, yes, you do need a bigger fuel tank, but not if your overall process is more efficient.

You could still get the same result for less size, right, or not?

Tell us.

Dig into your fuel knowledge bucket.

How do you get from qualifying to the race with different fuel flow?
