Crashes incoming 2026..
It’s going to be screaming while braking. Just to harvest energy. Fans are going to get confused (initially) . Don’t worry, DTS will mix and edit the “right” sounds in 2027
Can the active aero be partially deployed, or is it "on-off" only?
Can it be controlled from the pit, or only by the driver?
Can front and rear aero effects be decoupled on the fly? Or in the pits? Or at all?
Can the controller be automated for optimum energy conservation and best power availability based on the previous laps or some other kind of mapping?
On/off only
Must be activated together only
Driver operated only
In designated zones only
Someones gonna get hurt
Over heating breaks
Fascinating.
Is this the start of a golden era for F1?
