Maximum power (tractive and harvesting) is fixed by the rules, and electric motor efficiency is already extremely high (90-95%), so even halving the losses yields only marginal gains.
Conclusion: the most powerful ICE means the strongest ERS too, unless a team gets its harvesting/deployment strategy completely wrong!
[ADUO is evaluated using an "ICE Performance Index", calculated from the ICE's average power and the lap time's sensitivity to power. The exact formula is kept confidential to prevent manufacturers from gaming the system].

Formula Data Analysis I often read 'The ADUO only considers the ICE power, not the ERS; Mercedes has the best ERS; that's why they got the 2-% ADUO' - but that's wrong! Read on to understand why 💡 The 🔋ERS does NOT produce energy: it simply deploys what it previously harvested.…
