Energy density/range.

Long races like Formula 1, Le Mans, Dakar Rally are far from being won by Electric cars, because of the range/enormous batteries it would require.

Formula E cars are currently not just slower than F1 cars but also F2 cars (a new generation is coming but it still won't come close to F1 speeds).

If you unleashed 5 full F1 teams to solve EV F1 racing they would most certainly come up with record-breaking solutions to tackle issues you mention. With how good the F1 car aero is and how good the batteries’ low centre of gravity is, I would’t put it past them to be able to create magic.

Oh yeah F1 teams will magically outdo the energy density that chemists, physicists, and material scientists have spent decades achieving with battery technology.

I think F1 teams would figure out how to change batteries fast and recharge them off-track. Mechanical replacement is the only way to rapidly renew the energy density without new chemistry (like you allude).

Just imagine that the same manufacturers who are in F1, are in FE. And they haven't figured it out.

The technology is there already if money isn’t an object which is what being part of F1 will do.

If nothing else, replacing a better in under 4 seconds seems completely doable.
