“Silly” power unit rules prevent passing, says Hamilton: “The engine can go faster” | Formula 1

Lewis Hamilton criticized current power unit regulations following the Mexican Grand Prix, arguing that energy deployment limits hinder overtaking. The driver explained that energy clipping restricts vehicle speeds at the end of straightaways, preventing racers from capitalizing on slipstreams.

While Formula 1 chief Stefano Domenicali defended the engine regulations, Hamilton also pointed to altitude challenges, thin air, and the track layout as additional obstacles to competitive racing.
