Monza is driven at full throttle for 75% of the lap, and Baku not much less than that.

Then I stand corrected. I still remember those Buick Wildcat V6 motors that we're always so racy on Pole Day, yet two weeks later they never seemed to have the longevity to be there at the end of the race.
You guys should test your car at Indy, and show how you can run with the spec cars, even with your tremendous downforce (dis)advantage. The IndyCars may have a slight advantage in straightline speed (do F1 cars hit 240+ mph?), but I'd imagine they'd corner significantly faster. Would be interesting to compare laptimes between the two disciplines. It would be a race everyone would want to see. Refuelling for 500 miles would complicate the comparison, though.
