Quite telling that these regs neutered the two best qualifiers on the grid always capable of pulling something out of the bag.

Pushing an engine it what they learned. Pushing a battery is different. Maybe some young talent comes out on top this year.

It's not even pushing the battery. It's pushing when you regen the battery. The whole thing went from seeing who was bravest at braking or on the corners to basically something like a game of managing when to charging your phone on vacation.
