Formula One Power Delivery: Brundle's Urgent Call

About this episode

Martin Brundle calls for FIA intervention after Ollie Bearmans high-speed crash at the Japanese Grand Prix, criticizing Formula Ones power delivery system for its unpredictable nature. Brundle argues that drivers should have linear control over power output, especially for safety reasons, as sudden slowdowns can lead to dangerous situations. With the upcoming Miami Grand Prix and concerns about battery drain on straights, changes to the power delivery system are expected.

It's April 6, from game day to every day. This is F1 News today, powered by AI. Oli Bareman had a nasty high-speed crash at the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka, slamming into barriers after dodging Franco-Kalapinto's slowing. Alpine. Martin Brundo is now blasting Formula One's power delivery system as fundamentally flawed and demanding the FIA step in to fix it before more trouble. Hits. Bareman was on full throttle closing fast when Kalaapinto suddenly harvested energy, dropping speed without warning. The Brit dipped onto the grass, lost control, but walked away okay, after Metix checked him out. Brundo says no blame on Kalaapinto, just the brutal closing speeds on that long, flat-out curve. Drivers have dealt with sudden slowdowns forever, from engine smoke back in the day to qualifying turbo madness, but Brundo argues today's. Self-learning power units bring nasty surprises, nobody can predict. He points to Lando Norris getting caught out when his battery auto-boosted past Lewis

Hamilton, leaving him defenseless. The core rule is clear, drivers control the car alone, no aids pulling tricks. Power output needs to match throttle input linearly, no ifs or buts, especially with safety on the line for fans first, then marshals and crews before. FIA can't ignore the driver's outcry or the Grand Prix Drivers Association letters anymore. With Miami looming and batteries draining fast on straits, expect changes soon to keep everyone safe and the show rolling smooth.
