F1'S BIGGEST ISSUE: ERS BEHAVIOR AT FULL THROTTLE

At full throttle, ERS behaviour (deployment vs harvesting) dictates acceleration: the difference approaches 10 m/s², like going from constant speed to stomping the brakes of a road car!

Max deployment: +350 kW
Max harvest at full throttle: −250 kW
Difference: 600 kW (~800 hp)

ΔAcceleration = ΔPower / ( Mass × Speed )→ 9.2 m/s²
(Confirmed by the data!)

The driver stays flat out, yet total power swings by 800 hp (1000 hp → 200 hp, or Bugatti Veyron vs Polo GTI).

And it gets worse: This #F1 data... is from HAM's best QUALIFYING lap!

My solution:

For 2026:
- Limit ERS deployment from 350kW to 250kW (53%/47%→62%/38% ICE/ERS power split). 🔋
- Limit the max harvest at full throttle to -150kW (keep the 350kW harvest under braking).

For 2027:
- Increase fuel flow by 20%, reaching ~1000hp again with 66%/34% split.

For the future: cheaper naturally aspirated 3000cc V8 engines on biofuel + rider-managed KERS. 🔥
