All we have to โ the only wriggle room we have is on the electrical side.
And if we're talking about increasing the power of the engine, it's going to lead to all sorts of reliability problems and it's blah, blah, blah.
The fuel tanks aren't going to be big enough because we're going to increase the fuel flow.
Some circuits won't have the capacity.
So we'd have to reduce the number of laps and โ
all those complications.
So they're saying that if you are only attacking that one side of the equation, there's not enough potential there to have any meaningful effect.
You can improve it.
You can improve it by increasing the harvesting rate and decreasing the deployment rate.
So, you know, okay.
But it's fundamentally, you will still-
Yeah.
Yes, as hard as possible out of the corner so that there will still be a reward for having more battery power at the beginning of the straight to last you longer down that straight.
There'll be more lap time reward for that that you can coast through the previous corner to get that battery charge.
So it's still fundamentally you're not going to โ qualifying is not going to be determined by the ability to drive on the edge better than the next guy.
And that's the fundamental, I think.
That's what strikes at the heart of why this is.
There's nothing they can do anyway.
Yeah, I don't think they would be able to bring the season to a halt.
But I think... Reserve drivers would be very happy.
