Mercedes reliability advantage in late turbo hybrid era meant their overtake mode's were much more free to extract power from them. to the point Fia targeted them directly. Now engine must be tuned to race spec. only battery boost is allowed

[@edk1124]

We are still on turbo hybrid era

[@randomesteven3935]

Overtake mode is battery boost. The reason overtake mode isn't used as often is because it drains the battery much more quickly. In qualifying, the deployment the electrical boost (both MGU-H and K) is pre-mapped to deliver boost in certain section of the track. This is done to ensure battery last the entire lap. Overtake mode drains it in like, half a lap or less at full power, which is useless in qualifying. What you're thinking of is fuel trim. And that's called engine modes. Engine modes/fuel trim and still be changed during a race in case oddities in the engine sensors are detected but it should not increase power, merely change driveability.

Now that last little note is new to me! Now it makes SO MUCH more sense why they're so much slower during racing instead of quali when it comes to times. I know the traffic during race also adjusts the times, but when they're all spread out, it all makes sense now!!!

the run the same ice engine maps in the race as qually so the difference in power is not as dramatic anymore. so as others have mentioned the slower speed is due to fuel weight and drivers managing their tires.

THE Huh Duh Six Hungeos TRACK MATE

[@strange_jason]

Overtake deploys the max amount of electric power, it doesn't alter the engine power, that is done by engine mapping and engine mapping is determined on a race to race basis or if there is a substantial amount of wear or heat in the engine.

[@yelistener]

This is the case since 2021 ICE mode ban. Before that, ot button could also change the engine mapping like fuel mixture.

[@alsa4real]

Doesn't overtake mode allow the exhaust gases to bypass thebturbo through the wastegate, so that there's lesser back pressure meaning maximum ICE power? It also means the MGU-H will have to spin the turbo.

[@Morgan-iv4ye]

@@yelistenerDo you think this could also have something to do with redbulls advantage since 2021?

[@Belril]

@@Morgan-iv4yeYes, in two ways. IMO Verstappen wouldn’t have been champion in ‘21 without this rule change, which was aimed at curbing Mercedes’ dominance. And yes, it also means that teams don’t have as much ability to make up for poor aero concepts by just running their ICEs at max power for parts of the race and then dialing them back for others.

As always, a great analysis! But I hate the way the whole power unit works - F1 should be about using (almost) full power all the time, but those days are sadly gone 😢

[@SheetFiber]

3 engine per season made it impossible.

[@SheetFiber]

But for season 2021 Mercedes had taken several times of 10 grid penalty for changing the internal combustion engine. I believe it was to allow Hamilton for running at near full power from after the summer break (was it Spa?) until Abu Dhabi.

[@Infigo96]

Since 2022 season the party modes and overtake modes, ala merc 2021 interlagos monster is gone. They have to stick with a power mode on the icu. If it is for a whole weekend or they have some leaniency and need to keep that mode for a certain majority. The electric motors they have full control over which mode and power in the race but it is not as powerful as icu+ electrics in a overtake party mode. And less engines total also limits the use of party mode

[@wojtekpawowski8913]

@@Infigo96 yes, that's right with the ICE settings; the problem is the battery in general - it will never have enough capacity to give full power all the race and the energy will always have to be managed :( and there is also the matter of tyres. My point is that lapping ~5 seconds or more slower in the race than in quali is just ridiculous 🤷🏿

If Bottas was smart, it would have been him who had slipstream on that straight. He could just kept behind and then get past again instead of "abusing" his engine for literally no need.

[@zedramer]

I'm curious how much the cars will let their drivers use the OT before de-rating the battery. Like if Bottas in this situation used the OT button a couple more times that lap, and ended up de-rating through the last sector (blanchimont into bus stop).

Not quite, this button was working in a different manner in 2021. In 2021 what you saw was merc desperately finding the best engine they might have produced (remember that these are hand built, power differs from engine to engine). They have found the highest horsepower engine they could produce, ran it to it's limits because it only needed to run 3 races, then BAM, cheat mode activated for the Brasil race 😂😂

New to F1 - If the engine runs at full power for qualifying, does this mean typically the fastest lap times are in qualifying? As they conserve the battery throughout the entirety of the actual race?

[@russko118]

they are faster in quali, before 2021 it was even more difference nowadays is mosty weight of the fuel (you have to do the full race on a full tank, quali is with minimal fuel) and tire management (in quali you don't do it so you go even faster). battery recharges under breacking (not only but mostly) so the battery recharges and can be deployed for extra power

[@Majima_Nowhere]

Still happens, though engine modes were kinda banned a couple years ago. The Overtake button now only uses battery power. Still, F1 engines only last a few races before they need to be replaced. Before the V6s, it was more common to see engines blow up mid race. You might occasionally see a frontrunner driver who had a bad start to the race retire the car even if they can still continue, just to avoid wearing the car's parts out for no points.

[@russko118]

since they introduced a limit on how many engine can get used in a year there is saving engines. before you burn one for the qualy and another one for the race
