So near the end of the race as the fuel load lightens it goes into the aggressive mode?
Which is good right? Atleast in the current circumstances everyone would be trying to go for the fast lap point at that stage. With the current reliability of the engines, they can do a couple of more "quali" laps at the end of the race.
Besides, you can code a variety of combinations in the software to accurately to control it. For example, you can add a counter in the software that can record the number of laps done (or mileage in race?) and use that as an additional parameter for decision making parameter about enabling/disabling the aggressive configiruation. You don't do more than 100 kms in quali (Q1 to Q3) Vs more than 300 kms in races. If the counter reads >300, then don't enable the aggressive mode even if the fuel remaining is < 10kg.
switch(mode) {
case remainingFuel < 10kg && mileageDone <100:
enableQualiMode();
break;
case emainingFuel < 10kg && mileageDone >100:
keepRaceModeOnly()
break;
default:
// code block
}
F1 engineers are really smart people and who knows, probably we are way too late to this party! This might already be happening, quietly.
