I love the actual product, but loathe the attempts at feigning some sort of progressivism that always manages to put on blast the fact that its founder was a center-right Spanish politician.
Also, Hazel Southwell is literally right there.

Are you able to expand on this? What’s unique to FE’s manufacturing that it could be more impactful than F1? I can only assume it’s something to do with the batteries, but F1 also uses batteries for the hybrid system, albeit smaller than FE’s.

Thanks for the reply. It definitely sounds like there should be a limit on the number of batteries used per season then. There must be a reason for doing it though - are they just not as performant once they’ve been through a race weekend?

In the sense that it tries too hard to be progressive?

What do you mean by blocking battery development?

And what’s their argument to block new battery technologies?

Maybe they don’t want Chinese manufacturers showing everyone that they are 20 years ahead on battery technology that everyone else.
The only two possible reasons I can think of are to try and keep on top of costs, and to keep performance of the teams as close as possible.
It’s kind of hilarious as a sport. There’s so many Mario Kart inspired rules and, not even sure what to call them, but things like the boost when you drive over the special spot on the road.
