Manufacturers will get more freedom to experiment in the area of energy recovery under the new rules for 2025. “We have to be carbon neutral,” said F1 sporting boss Ross Brawn. “We will perhaps still set a limit for the power that we can get from the batteries, but within this limit we will let the manufacturers determine how they manage this energy,” said FIA engine boss Gilles Simon. Simon said that may manifest in drivers having more freedom to deploy power when, for example, trying to overtake. “That means that the driver can use extra power for overtaking in the race. You will then be able to see when the driver is using extra power or how much he still has in reserve,” said Simon.
