But wouldn't speak badly of the public, but it must not be forgotten that even Bahrain last year famously, we ran the story, the FI proposed pulling back electrical deployment to 200 kilowatts.
So it knew back then there were issues in play.
Only last week, single-seater director Nicholas Tombasis talked about, you know, maybe F1 had overreached with its ambitions, with the electric power, that things needed to be tweaked.
It was a subtle shift, but it wasn't robustly defensive like Stefano Domenicali has been.
Everything's perfect.
There's no problems, John.
I don't know what you're talking about.
It's all great.
Yeah.
And I think they've, FIA's also, there's been an interesting change in the dynamic between drivers and FIA, that there's been direct contact, Mohamed Ben Salaim and Nicholas Tombasis, FIA representatives, and direct the drivers, because I think the drivers have framed the dialogue on these regulations an awful lot, because the racing itself, some days you can argue, some people don't think it's brilliant, some think it is brilliant,
Overall, it's not as terrible and it's not the cause of a crisis.
The issue has been more counterintuitive driving, qualifying, the speed drops, driving slower to go faster, all that weirdness on a Saturday.
And those concerns have come from drivers.
They've led this.
They've had the dialogue with the FIA.
The FIA has had the...
kind of been empowered by this.
We know Mohammed Ben Salaim loves it when he's kind of in dialogue with the drivers and pushing on.
So he's been speaking to them.
They've made some progress.
