Question Will Hamilton quit F1 after the FIA handed the championship to Verstappen?

Answer

I really don’t think he will… he might be bit shell-shocked about the way it all went down but he’ll want to come back stronger and not give them a reason to deny it to him in the new season.

Question

Why don't F1 drivers use the overtake button at the start?

Answer

So, let's say this is something that's possible, if they had to do this they would have no overtake for the remainder of the lap. Certain tracks that have long straights and fast corners offers little in terms of ERS recovery. So they might only have one stint of full deployable energy. In cases like that it would have to be used very sparingly.
