    OK, cool. Still not 300kg more than a FE car like you claimed. Seems your source is a donkey.

    I see you’re bad at math 856 - 605 = 251 which is nearly 300kg.

    My source is Mario Illien. If Mario misspoke, send a letter of complaint to:

    Got caught in a lie, claim someone else told you that but don’t give a source.

    Anyhow: FE has no problem producing exciting races with actual overtakes in Monaco.

    If overtakes are your metric for a good car than NASCAR cars are for you, they have hundreds of overtakes at Daytona.

    His approach for a change this is fully electric propulsion with a very simple and much much lighter ICE as generator and relatively few battery cells. This is somewhat similar to the approach of Audi RS Q e-tron.

    I personally prefer fast light cars but if the nissian leaf racing league is your jam more power to you.

      F1 cars weigh 800kg without fuel. Fully fueled, they’re heavier than FE cars.

      If overtakes are your metric for a good car

      Yes

      I personally prefer fast light cars

      Then follow one. F1 clearly isn’t for you then. Good bye.

        Current f1 cars with heavy hybrid systems are. F1 cars without those weight 605 kg.

        You will like NASCAR they use heavy cars and pass each other back and forth all the time.

        Then follow one. F1 clearly isn’t for you then. Good bye.

        F1 is getting lighter, once they get rid of the fat pig hybrid system they be much lighter.
