#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)

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/…

Should have seen an even closer battle for the GP pole if Lando didn't have deployment issues.
