- energy recovery from MGU-K will be less than in 2016 because of shorter braking time, therefore MGU-H will become more important

I don't get it. The braking time will be reduced but the braking power will increase as the total braking energy will remain unchanged or even increase because of higher speeds and larger weight.

But the MGUK portion of the braking power will remain at 120kW.

Oh... I thought it was the limit for the MGUH only. Now I got it, thanks.

Nobody is running flat out. Merc were running rev limiters set early all morning.

and Honda too
(btw that explains maybe why BOT was so much slower than HAM)

That's a fact?

Even if the MGU-K wasn't limited to 120 kW, it would still probably lower because of the lower top speeds and reduced speed lost from higher cornering speeds.

Andy Cowell has said Merc PU is also heavier giving the same reason.

[Brian Coat]

Unless I misunderstand, this would imply them both being above the regulated minimum engine weight?

Everyone believe that?

Sounds promising if they get it to work!
