That does actually answer my question and I believe it doesn't actually work like that. If that happened and the battery was used to provide the full 120 kW for that time period then at some point during the lap, after 33 seconds of full MGU-K power then the MGU-H would start to harvest energy from the exhaust to send power straight to the MGU-K.
That idea presents some problems.
1. When the battery has reached its energy limit to send to the MGU-K then judging by preliminary calculations it wouldn't be possible to harvest 120 kW from the MGU-H to send to the -K even in peak generating conditions.
2. The turbo would have to be spooled before full throttle is applied. To obviously prevent lag and more importantly once full throttle is applied and the turbo is spooled, to harvest excess energy from the MGU-H.
3. If the battery is putting out the full 120 kW to the MGU-K then either the MGU-H will have to waste any energy it is generating or the wastegate will have to open.....wasting energy.
What I, and it seems others, think is far more likely is that in a corner the turbo is pre-spooled by the MGU-H. As soon as the throttle is applied the battery supplies some of the required 120 kW to the MGU-K. Say 60 kW for this example. The other 60 kW is made by harvesting from the MGU-H. As the car is already at full throttle and the turbo is fully spooled up, excess energy be created. It is this excess energy from the MGU-H that will then be sent directly to the MGU-H to fill the other 60 kW.
