Only Max can prevent Sainz domination

"Lift and coast" regenerates the battery for the acceleration at the exit of the next corner.
If a driver doesn't plan it, he is left with just the ICE power.
It's still racing, but a different sort of racing.
It's just like drivers having turbo lag years ago, they had to anticipate.

 

Or keep the turbo primed. There is a video of Gilles driving a TC street car on a track. Going through a turn he is continually blipping the throttle to keep rpm’s up so when exiting there is no lag to “anticipate”.

 

I wouldn't take Gilles Villeneuve as an example of turbo lag management; the guy had no mechanical sympathy !

 

Senna did the same. They(F1 journo's) called that technique "rabbiting" the throttle.

 

Superb showing from Sainz again. Piss poor from Lewis.

4 races in it's looking like an atrocious deal for 2025

 

Max with valiant effort to prevent further Carlos domination. How does he do it. Such pressure from Sainz!!!!!!!!
