"But there are many other little improvements we can make on weight and other things we can optimise and we just need to chip away the small gains while understanding the car. "And then to keep up with Red Bull in terms of development is going to be difficult, but yeah, it's the same team that did this car, that will work on the development for this year's car, so I am confident. On average, Mercedes has been 0.85 seconds off pole position at the first three rounds of the season, and the gap to pole as a percentage has been slowly creeping up at each round. That's perhaps no surprise given the time and resources Ferrari was able to pour in to the development of this year's car over the last two years while Red Bull and Mercedes were fighting for championships. But years of championships titles in the junior series prior to F1 means he is not entirely unprepared, and he has already adapted his approach to the championship campaign. "Obviously they started this project a lot earlier than we did, so to a degree we are playing catch-up," he said. "Of course I did a good job all weekend, but it was not possible without the car and this weekend, especially on race pace, we were extremely strong. The tricky balance of the car also seemed to impact tyre performance, as Red Bull tore open the surface of their front left tyres while Ferrari managed to avoid a similar issue with Leclerc. But Verstappen's misfortune should not take anything away from the performance of Ferrari and Leclerc this year. On the basis of pure performance, there has been very little to choose between Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen this season. I think it might be a fuel issue, but we need to get the car back, we need to be able to look at what's exactly happened." Not really having the pace, I was just managing my tyres to bring it to the end.

“I don’t even want to think about the championship at the moment,” he said. “We are never going to give up. I hope it continues like this and if it does, we probably have chances for the championship.” We are going to keep on fighting. Russell was able to claim his first podium finish of the year when Verstappen was forced from the race and can only hope the team is capable of closing the gap later in the year. “I knew there was a problem and it was always going to be a question mark for finishing the race, but these kind of things, if you want to fight for the title, cannot happen.”

Vents that help decrease the build-up of pressure in the cell due to the release of gases generated at higher temperatures are also an effective measure.Battery Swapping : Our inherent strengths in software could be leveraged here to develop algorithms that are able to closely monitor conditions in the Indian scenario and trigger the safeguards. Finally, a covered basement parking, allowing the vehicle to cool before charging also help increase the life and performance of LIBs. plays a very vital role in preventing battery fires and acts like the brain of the battery which continues to sense the possibility of critical conditions and takes mitigating action to avoid thermal runaways and short circuits within the battery. Through a combination of hardware and software techniques that monitor vital parameters at a cell and overall pack level, the BMS helps in identification of issues that could make the battery enter dangerous operating regions and takes countermeasures to make it go back to the safe operating zone. Fast charging delivers high amount of power in short duration further aggravating the heat generation in batteries which can lead to thermal runaway reactions. Measures such as the use of surface coatings on anodes and cathodes which are thermally inert or improve thermal stability of the electrodes. Finally, since batteries need to be charged from time to time if not daily, it is vital to understand the role of temperature while charging at higher temperatures. It has also highlighted the need for extensive testing under stringent conditions as well as having greater control over the battery value chain which is expected to increasingly face supply constraints and hence offer lower customisation for buyers of smaller volumes of batteries.Effects of HIGH temperature and thermal runaways / fires Not only does the capacity of the battery alter with temperature, the driving range is also adversely affected. Lithium Ion batteries perform most optimally within a temperature range of up to ~38 °C ± 5 °C, however, our summer temperatures could touch 50°C especially during direct exposure to the sun in the summer season which can lead to thermal runaways / fires if not managed adequately. High temperatures which are very common in India, can significantly affect the performance of LIBs. There is a possibility of thermal aging which shortens the lifetime of LIBs. At elevated temperatures, exothermic reactions are triggered, thereby generating more heat.

We've been a bit too unlucky in the first few races"— Formula 1 (@F1) #AusGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/HlGgtWS71o April 10, 2022 A first safety car was activated a few minutes into the session after Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, who started ninth on the grid after set-up troubles in qualifying, spun out of the race on hard compound tyres. Lewis Hamilton finished fourth for Mercedes after starting fifth on the grid, having been passed by Russell due to a safety car deployment. It was a similar outcome to the season-opener in Bahrain, where Verstappen retired three laps from the end while on course for a second-place finish. "What a race and what pace," said a thrilled Leclerc on the team radio, having finished more than 20 seconds ahead of Perez in the 58-lap race. Charles Leclerc claimed his second win of the Formula One season for Ferrari with a pole-to-flag victory at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday as Red Bull's world champion Max Verstappen suffered "deja vu" with another retirement.

“We always make sure that the safety car is out at the wrong time,” joked Haas boss Guenther Steiner. “But seriously though—sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you get unlucky. Sainz had a lot of setbacks in Melbourne out of his control but ultimately a score of zero was on him. Haas knew it would not repeat the heroics of Bahrain every weekend but Australia was a tricky event for the squad. “I’ve been in this situation in junior categories but to be here in Formula 1 means a lot, especially after the last two years, and especially with Ferrari,” he said. Verstappen was never as far as 46 points behind during his title-winning season in 2021 and accepted he is “already massively down in the championship so now I don’t even think about the title fight. As a consequence the back-up steering wheel wasn’t as accurately tuned in and Sainz suffered anti-stall at the start, dropping five positions from ninth to 14th. Carlos Sainz’s weekend was undone in qualifying by elements out of his control but in race trim he wrecked his own prospects. But Verstappen was not just thinking about the points situation, having been running a distant second to Leclerc when the RB18 packed up. On occasion Leclerc overstepped the limit in his attempt to drag Ferrari’s machinery higher than it deserved, but with a rapid and compliant title-leading machine under his belt that approach has been modified. “34 is always good to take wherever you are in the calendar but I don’t want to focus too much on the championship for now.” As you can see, we’re just not in the right window. He already has a 34-point lead in the standings just three rounds into the season.
