Nigel Mansell blasts ‘totally false’ F1 in scathing assesment
Nigel Mansell believes F1 fans are justified in feeling unhappy with the new technical regulations, which he thinks are resulting in artificial overtaking. The division of power output between the internal combustion engine and batteries has raised concerns in the first three races of the season. Drivers are now unable to push flat-out during qualifying due to the need to manage energy for the straights. Changes are planned for the upcoming Miami GP to address issues such as super-clipping and lift and coast tactics. Mansell, a former F1 champion, expressed concern that some overtaking maneuvers are not genuine and are influenced by computer-controlled power deployment. He emphasized the importance of considering the fans’ perspective and their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in Formula 1.
