Davidson: Overtaking will clearly become more difficult.

      Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sport F1 expert Anthony Davidson believes that the latest amendments to the regulations will help achieve the goal but will lead to a decrease in overtaking...

      Anthony Davidson: "When the incident with Berman and Colapinto occurred at the Spoon corner in Suzuka, it was not related to the unexpected slowdown of Alpine Colapinto. It happened because Berman pressed the Boost button in a place where, to be honest, no one expected that button to be pressed.

      By pressing the Boost button in the first three races, drivers received full power of 350 kilowatts – about 470 horsepower, if the battery had enough charge, like Berman's. This caused a huge speed difference between the two cars – 50 kilometers per hour.

      Now they have limited the power to 150 kilowatts instead of 350, just to avoid this speed difference between the two cars. I hope this will ease the situation, but it is clear that overtaking will be noticeably more difficult.

      I hope overtaking will be possible in principle, although it is too early to draw conclusions."
