the MGU-K can recover whenever the accelerator displacement has dropped (with or without brake pedal action)saviour stivala wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 3:37 am... the rules allow that only under braking. Any other means of recovery by the MGU-K, means 'extra' recovery over and above the 2mj per lap allowed by the rules.
Ispanol6. ''When compering with the FERRARI engine, the FERRARI electric motor (MGU-K) is listed as making 163 bhp/130 kw'' This is not possible according to the rules.....
in motoring the MGU-K can legally draw from the DC line at 126.3 kW
(because the '120 kW' rules assume 5% loss from DC power draw to mechanical power added to crankshaft)
maybe Ferrari just saying their MGU-K is rated ie safe to 130 kW ? - or maybe it's a typo ?
(a metric bhp is 735.5 kW but an 'English-speaking' bhp is 745.7 kW)
126.3 kW draw with 5% loss corresponds to a mechanical output of 120 kW/163 metric bhp
