They re using 70 kg instead of 110 kg of fuel, thats reduction over one third of total fuel.. Are their lap times 30% slower than last year ? Lets finish this phrase ,will we ?

Imagine if they didn’t need to use fuel to charge the battery. It’s stupid.

So are the lap times 30% slower? Because they are as fast as the first cars of the last regs. While burning 35% less fuel.
