NEW F1 ERS RULES (From Miami), EXPLAINED! 📒

Clipping time drops significantly, with minimal impact on lap times and the pecking order. At peak harvest, an F1 car can produce less full-throttle power than a Fiat Panda, but it's for the better 😆 (read to the end!)

QUALI
• Max recharge: 8 → 7 MJ
• Peak superclip power: 250 → 350 kW
• Tracks with alternative lower energy limits: 8 → 12

RACE
• Boost gain capped at +150 kW
• ERS power not on straights: 350 → 250 kW
• Peak superclip power: 250 → 350 kW

Effects:
• Less energy to deploy (7 MJ in quali). Stronger superclipping (250→350 kW) means it lasts even less.
• Boost mode nerfed, but still enough to overtake.
• Laptimes roughly unchanged: stronger superclip (↑ perf) offset by less deployment not on straights (↓ perf).

Saved the best for last: during superclipping, the PU produces ~400 kW (ICE) − 350 kW (ERS harvest) = ~50 kW (68 hp) at full throttle. That's 1 kW less than a Fiat Panda 1.2 (51 kW)! 🐼
