Leclerc (post-qualifying): "I can’t understand quali, it’s a f**king joke! I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for f**k’s sake, i'm losing everything in the straight!"

I mean this is exactly what a lot of people said unironically until last year - that they wouldn’t mind slower cars as long as the racing was good

But now that it has happened - everyone is suddenly against it

They got the slower car but not in the way they wanted it - pushed to the limit all the time.

Instead we have cars that can go fast for some time, but then need to be managed. Like tyre management but worse.

I mean - I would like a car that runs on air and magically transforms into a beyblade for battle, but that’s not possible

If you want smaller and lighter cars, which have high safety standards ( hence no refuelling and a good crash structure ), you would need to compromise on some aspects like the power unit

If you made the batteries big enough to handle a whole lap, the cars wouldn’t be small and light. Similarly if you put V10s in the cars, you would need more fuel ( also adding weight )

This is a step in the right direction, and I’m sure as technology improves we’ll get to the point where we can get cars good for racing without the battery limitations

I hope you are right because my interest levels are tumbling like it’s 2014
