One of the most frustrating parts to me is how the Sky commentators (while generally better) fail to understand how to explain how the regs work routinely. These cars are filling and emptying their batteries regularly because they're limited on their deployment per lap, but they continuously talk about how someone might be low on energy because of something that happened a couple laps ago when that would have no effect anymore.

I'm generally a fan of the close racing that these regs have produced at the beginning of races, even if it is somewhat artificial (but so is DRS, so...). What I'm not a fan of is what other people have mentioned: the lack of data on screen. The sport evolved immensely in what matters in battles this year, but we never actually get to see that. Like, when is someone boosting? Maybe we can tell or maybe that was just their regular deployment, or they changed a deployment strat for this lap? Showing how much energy someone has consumed during a lap would also help us understand if they are about to make a move at the end of a lap because they've saved slightly more energy than the car in front.

I guess what I'm saying is I'm not as much of a doomer as most people from the ideas that these regs attempted to introduce, but I think they missed the mark in execution.
