    isn’t this basically the old F1 MGU-H system that they kept having issues with and eventually gave up on?

    Edit: no, that system, confusingly, is an electric motor/generator connected to the turbocharger.

      Only getting rid of them next year I’m pretty sure. And initial problems of reliability but not these days. With phenomenal thermal efficiency from tiny engines

      MGU-H works very well, and they’re only getting rid of it in 2026. Mainly to keep new upcoming F1 engine manufacturers happy as they don’t have experience in MGU-H systems.
