While I’d much rather see drivers go flat out all the time, I don’t think this will be a problem.
There were always reasons for drivers not to push as hard as they can - be it the super delicate pirellis, or saving fuel when refueling was a thing. WEC also has long stretches of lift and coast, and it doesn’t really impact the racing.
Ultimately, a casual fan will see that one car is going faster and another is going slower. It doesn’t really matter why. As they watch more, they’ll organically learn more about the constraints the drivers operate under.
I fail to understand why F1 uses hybrid motors and synthetic petrol to save a few hundred liters…then burns kilotonnes of fuel to fly everyone around. Maybe they can explain that.
