#Ferrari uses throttle while braking to tame an oversteery max-downforce setup in a slippery T14.
#RedBull fastest on the straights in race trim.
#McLaren rules fast sweeps, and adopts the Lift trick.

Did the "Dump-and-Lift" trick work at Spa? YES. ⏱️⚡
The finish line is only 150m after the Bus Stop Chicane, but dumping battery early saved RUS 79.2 ms in Q3!
Due to Spa's strict 50 kW/s taper rule, coasting beats flat-out. Full data on Patreon! 👇

60 to 80 MILLISECONDS. That is how much time the Mercedes drivers were gaining by lifting at the end of the lap at Silverstone.⏱️
I simulated Russell & Antonelli's telemetry.

Contrary to #F1 ADUO, over a Silverstone quali lap, RBR didn't appear to have the highest power — Mercedes did!💡 (Ferrari still way back despite the PU update)
RBR's power drops off sharply above 290 km/h (where maximum ERS power must decrease linearly with speed): Mercedes may have the better harvesting/deployment strategy, allowing higher power above that threshold, or simply less drag (which is factored into the "Specific Power" metric)
Analysis in collaboration with the brilliant @FormulaGhostLap: check out their page!
Mercedes drivers are lifting off the gas right before the finish line at Silverstone. Look at the screenshot—they drop to 0% throttle without braking. Why are they doing this when no one else is? It comes down to a specific 2026 rule trap.
A Thread!
It is all about how they spend their battery energy. Dumping it early is faster than spreading it out gradually, but it creates a legal problem when the battery runs dry. Read the simple breakdown of why they do it on Patreon (free): patreon.com/FormulaGhostLap/…
