It is an intrinsically difficult topic to convey, which is part of my issue. Saying that the drivers have 33.33 secs of energy per lap however is just a bare face lie. The problem for me though is there has been no real attempt by the broadcasters to explain the way ERS Matthew Somerfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759263537936706584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-68901793873871577342014-04-15T18:12:19.045+01:002014-04-15T18:12:19.045+01:00Hi Joe

Meanwhile the H can harvest and deploy as much as it likes but will obviously look to store at least 2mj per lap to make up the K's deficiet. Transferring energy between the two MGU's is much more efficient due to the loss Matthew Somerfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759263537936706584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-40895492990418474292014-04-15T11:18:07.518+01:002014-04-15T11:18:07.518+01:00Try the other end of the spectrum:

They just regurgitate the briefing notes they get and mix it all together with absolutely no knowledge of force, torque, energy, power, gear ratios. I don;t think they have even understood yet that electrical and IC engine energy/power are the same.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04047680870140980417noreply@blogger.com
