Verstappen's MGU-H with its unlimited flow to the MGU-K was of no use/of no help after he had deployed all he was allowed to deploy through the MGU-K for the lap. And neither was the possible harvesting through the MGU-K other than when braking. simply put, he had used the permitted deployment for the lap. after that when he crossed the line his permitted deployment of 4mj was reset to zero and he was than able to start deploying again.
Do you think all the PU’s are the same in this respect? In that they can only deploy 4MJ and recover only from braking how come Ferrari and Mercedes are better? Surely Raikkonen also got to 4MJ and had to wait to be reset for the next lap? Or are Ferrari’s joules bigger than Renaultks.
What I think is that a Honda PU is certainly not a Renault, Mercedes or a FERRARI PU, ditto for the other three. But in the respect of deploying electrical energy and harvesting it, all four are bound by the same fixed rules numbers as to what they can deploy and harvest. The deployment and harvesting rules as I understand and interpret them I spelled them out on here “As defined in the terminology of the federation international de l’automoble. A F1 ERS is “designed” to recover energy from the car during braking (kinetic) only unlike road going hybrids such as the Honda CR-Z, and from exhaust (heat), store that energy and make it available to propel the car solely by means of the MGU-K electric engine at a maximum energy deployment of 161 bhp per lap for a time of 33.33 seconds per lap. Having came here and expressed those interpretations of the F1 ERS rules, the negativity I received was unbelievable, akin to having trespassed into privet property.
Re Verstappen having ran out of electric energy deployment allowed when he was defending, there was nothing wrong with his ERS components, “ES-MGU-K and MGU-H”. The MGU-K had deployed all it was allowed to deploy during that lap, so the size capacity of the ES, the MGU-K allowable harvesting under braking and the MGU-H permitted unlimited flow both to ES and k was of no use or help to him until he crossed the line and his permitted 4mj per lap was reset back to zero.
