I just read an article that F1 is going
to ease up on the hybrid charging requirements
mainly for qualifying. Apparently Max V. and others
have been quite vocal about how sluggish the
cars are in quali. Should be in effect for the Miami weekend.
I did not know these cars were now in the 50%electrical-
50% gas ballpark for power.

That's the problem. They don't have the battery capacity for that. 75/25 might have been more realistic.
Of course, the FIA is never wrong, and that's a problem too. I don't expect them to back off on the 50/50 thing, and the cars are designed around the current (low capacity) battery. The only realistic solution would be to mandate a slower deployment rate, but that would slow the cars overall. Unless they do that, we're in for a year of complaints.
