Racing Bulls Team Principal Alan Permane does not believe that the regulatory changes prior to the Miami Grand Prix will solve Formula 1’s energy recovery issues, which have been affecting on-track action due to excessive battery management causing cars to run out of energy on straights.
Despite criticism of the reduced racing spectacle and qualifying impact, Permane acknowledges the need to address these issues, hinting at plans to reduce energy usage in F1 cars to eliminate unpopular practices like lift and coast.
While changes are expected for the Miami Grand Prix, Permane suggests that the full impact may not be seen immediately due to caution surrounding the event format, with further adjustments likely to be tested in subsequent races like Montreal and Barcelona.
