  • Eh I do like the idea of the cars being hybrid, but I think they went way too far with it. I would love for the cars to be v8 or v10 with a light hybrid system. One that’s really only able to store enough energy from one heavy braking zone, and good for only a few seconds of deployment, something like a 50kw motor with a 100wh battery. The drivers could choose to either use that energy immediately on corner exit, or try to save for an overtake later. But they would need to get rid of that energy before the next braking zone, otherwise they would have a full battery which means decreased braking performance.

    I think that would give us dynamic racing, the screaming engines we all love, and still have the hybrid tech that they like advertising and is somewhat relevant to manufacturers, while still being lighter than the cars we have now
