#3 Attack Mode
The series will introduce a system dubbed attack mode or Mario Kart mode in which drivers will receive an additional 25 kW of power by driving through a designated area of the circuit off the racing line. The drivers will have to go off the racing line that is slower to be able to get the attack mode activated.
It will thus ensure a cat and mouse chase with the overtaken drivers always having a chance to pounce right back. The duration of the boost mode and the number of boosts available will be decided in advance of a race by the FIA to stop teams from anticipating its use and incorporating it into race strategies.
It has been criticised in some quarters as being too video game like, but the chances of it giving an added dimension to the race craft can't be denied.
