What are the negative aspects of F1's new regulations?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. We've done the positives. If you've missed that podcast, we did in fact say things we liked about the new regulations. So go and check that out if you haven't already. Or if you want to end with positivity, then go and check that one out afterwards. But we have got a lot to get into today because we're going to deep dive into the regulations. And yes, we would have mentioned some things over the last three race weekends. But to kind of just, you know, put it all together in one podcast so that Formula One can ignore us. Tommy, how are you?
I'm good. Looking forward to diving into this one. Of course, as always, when we ask the questions on these things, there's a lot more that people want to know. uh complain about about these new new regulations and then the positive so might be a bit of a longer podcast than the last one we don't know but um yeah we'll dive into it and we'll see what the butt counter is for this one crazy because if someone hasn't seen the first podcast they now have no idea what you've just said well now they want to watch it god tell me you're so good at this so good at this
Well, speaking of how good you are, right, why don't we start with you? So, again, if you haven't seen the first one, Tommy, you'll suggest one, I will suggest one, and then we've got fans have brought in some suggestions and things they don't like as well. So, Tommy, why don't you begin with yours? Super clipping. Oh, he said it! End of podcast. It's finished. That's a jump scare. That's a jump scare to just drop that word so early into a podcast. But okay, go on. Hit me with it.
I mean, it is. It is super clipping. The whole bad side of the regulations for all the positives that we've said in the last one, so much of it is ruined by super clipping and the fact that they're losing power on the straight. And I cannot get out my head that Max Verstappen said in 2023 that they would be downshifting on the straight and losing power. And I thought, well, there's no way that's going to actually happen in 2026. They will listen to... That can't happen. That's farcical. That's a joke. I almost laughed when I heard that thinking, wow, they've not tweaked the regs yet. They've not kind of got it sorted. And to actually go into that first race and see the pole position lap where they're losing power, we'll get into the fact about them trying to hide those facts later.
but it is absolute disgrace that a formula one car can lose power on a straight that's not what f1 is about yes we've seen you know people saving tires and it's not formula one has never always been about in the races going as fast as possible uh and going flat out every single second and and that's not what it's always been about But the fact that you can have a whole regulation that you've been doing for years and years and years and years, planning it, and then the cars are losing power. And it's just an embarrassing look to have the pinnacle of Formula One losing power. Sorry, the pinnacle of motorsport. Formula One is the pinnacle of Formula One. Will Buxton. Yeah, this is just ridiculous. It is so infuriating to watch it happen.
It makes me annoyed every time I see it because it should not be happening and it should have been sorted long ago when it was spoken about and seen in these simulations.
But perhaps, Tommy, there was no explanation. There was no fix. And they have committed because they've brought teams in like Audi. Cash money. And therefore they've gone, well, look, why don't we call it super? And then nobody will notice. This is the energy equivalent of lift and coasting the entire season. But the thing is, they're not even lifting. They've got foot flat to the floor. I mean, how depressing must it be for the F1 drivers themselves to just be like... It's literally powering down. It is... It's sad to watch. It's one of the worst things for sure about these regulations because we have, well, I've watched Formula One for 30 years. You, Tommy, probably similar.
