Synthetic fuel though in 2025
The new car, which features the latest FIA safety innovations, is powered by a 3.4 litre turbo-charged Mecachrome engine, and includes some new features to accommodate the Aramco synthetic sustainable fuel that will be introduced in 2025
Why does no starter motor matter? It just adds weight
2 0 ReplyI think Synthetic fuel, is not the right way to go. And not pushing vendors to produce something sustainable.
Hybrid also offers "Boost", since a driver can be tactical about when to use it.
A lot of DNF is do to engine staling, and you are not allowed to get help for marshals.

The rear wing looks unusual.
1 0 ReplyVery similar to the new Super Formula rear wings. Which makes sense as they're both Dallara designed.
3 0 ReplyIs that a vertical exhaust that exits onto the rear wing?
1 0 ReplyJust a support and where the DRS control is.
