    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.

      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.
