That's badass! And 80 extra electric horsepower? This looks like a videogame concept :)

My thought exactly. The thought of a "speed boost" button that you have to race to recharge is straight out of something from an arcade. Looks like this will be an interesting change for F1

the idea of the speed boost is to encourage teams to use and further develop the energy recovery system. I think it's a great idea considering the budgets of most F1 teams and the size/weight restrictions of the sport itself.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
