Sources have suggested that a drop from the current 9MJ to 7MJ per lap could add almost one second to laptimes, but a 6MJ limit could more than double that loss.
Some fans might not like slower cars, but you can argue drivers pushing slower cars to their limits is better than faster cars being driven conservatively.
Show me the fan who can tell the difference between 1:30:00 laptimes and 1:33:00 laptimes by eye and I’ll show you a liar.
