F1 2020 ERS harvesting

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Just wondering, is the ERS supposed to always be on medium? I've never seen it change, and have never seen any AI or myself have the harvesting lights on the wing light up. Is this how it is supposed to be?

EDIT: I've now seen one AI have the harvesting lights on.

You can override it to turn it off completely though to harvest energy quicker. I usually turn it off for my outlap in qualifying incase I decide to go for 2 flying laps.

Just to clarify, Only in practice & qualifying can you turn it completely off... 
 

Which makes sense, unless under a full safety car during the race you’d never turn the ERS completely off because GP2 engine, GP2!

I’ve only ever done it in quali, as it seems to harvest enough for what I need in the race. Good to know you can’t override in the race
