Missing ERS light blinking when slowing down?

I am new to watching and playing F1 and i was wondering, why the the ERS light was flashing, even in the first round.
When i play the game, the ERS light is only flashing, when ERS level is under 15%, but in real F1 it also flashes, when the cars lost 120HP within 1 seconds.

Why isn't this implemented?

t would help alot prevent crashes while racing. In other race series like GT3 you have breaking lights and i makes "reading" the car in front of you, so much easier.

@Soonic6It simply isnt simulated as deeply, the whole power unit is not replicated as deeply so MGU modes that massively reduce the HP didnt make it in the game.

The amount of energy being used is only reduced with a very gentle slope with higher speeds, d-rating is not a thing in the game

to bad... but thanks for clarification.i hope something like this will be implemented in the futur. simulate this, will be a bit to much, but blinking when simply deactivating the ERS should be possible.

@Soonic6 Thing is ERS is always active in races in current games, you cant have no ERS unless you have 0% battery left which is something i dont like but they want to prevent the constant flickering between modes with this

okay, i wasn't clear enough, i meant the "overtake" mode.

@Soonic6 Ahh okay yeah that would be a way but personally id prefer them to give us 2 or 3 modes that are not flickable a lot without severe damage to the CE and just let us decide how much deployment we want and at what speed it should "d-rate" and when it gets lower than 10% deployed energy it would start blinking - 15% is the current deployment rate for medium, so this could get closer to the real thing.

Always blinking when overtake is off then it would blink 90% of the lap, a bit much maybe :D

but this is more reallistic :D if i am right the overtake mode adds 120HP to the base engine.

@Soonic6 Theoretically its not realistic haha Overtake gets 160 bhp to the normal engine (120 KW) but even IRL they rarely use the Overtake button, most of the time the the ERS just follows a preset mapping and when that is in full recharge mode then it will blink 🙂
