Let's take that one step further. You have assumed 2MJ of MGUK harvesting which will take a minimum of 16.66 seconds leaving less than 63 seconds for the MGUH to harvest 4 MJ - an average of 63 kW.wuzak wrote:This gives us some numbers on the MGUH.ferkan wrote:https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/anali ... ce-882107/The team of the Cavallino has built its base around the motor 062 which is definitely a quantum leap compared to the unit last year: the work done on the turbo and sull'ERS allows charging more efficient electricity with MGU- H, having lowered to 3.5 bar, the maximum pressure value, while in 2016 the engineers from Maranello had arrived to 5.5 bar that generated a counter-pressure on the exhaust valves in some situations had the reliability of 6 cylinders . In the new configuration, drivers may take advantage of the electric power (max 160 horses) for a lap time by almost 50 seconds, much more than in the past.
But vitaminizzare the internal combustion engine must have been also a new Shell petrol with valid anti-detonating factors which led to the heart dl Cavallino to find the reliability that was lacking a few weeks ago: a passage perhaps decisive leap in the overall quality of the Red .
Ferrari has completed eight days of testing with the same engine (also Haas), a sign that the reliability of the mechanics is reached: gave no problems not even change, one of the Achilles heels of the SF16-H whose replacements They had cost fifty lost positions on the grid.
Less ICE power this year?
Being able to run the MGUK at full power for around 50s gives them ~6MJ. That means at least 4MJ extracted from the MGUH per lap.
If we use Barcelona as the gage, the lap time is ~80s. Which means the MGUH, on average over the lap, generates ~50kW.

anyways, airboxes seem to be shorter
