Have you noticed? 🤔 Compared to last year, #F1 race top speeds often approach 350 km/h but rarely exceed it: welcome to the '352 km/h Invisible Wall'! 👀 Overtake mode allows full 350 kW ERS deployment up to 337 km/h. Above that, power drops sharply, down to 0 kW at 352 km/h. Beyond that, only the ICE is working, with just ~550 hp! • Up to 337 km/h: High acceleration, thanks to active aero and ~1000 hp • 337 → 352 km/h: acceleration drops massively, as drag power grows cubically with speed while power falls linearly • Above 352 km/h: ICE-only, not enough to accelerate! Top speeds in Monza won't be much higher than 350km/h, but Monza-like top speeds will be reached in many other tracks! 💡















My fault, sorry guys: as I saw Antonelli's wing come off, I said, 'Given his luck, LEC will run over it and get a puncture' - as soon as I said that, the camera switched, showing him having a hydraulic issue 😭 #F1 #BarcelonaGP
