(Increase of 30kw / 40.5bhp) Maximum power will be available during practice and qualifying sessions. During races, power-saving mode will apply with the FanBoost system temporarily allowing maximum power for a limited time of 5 secs per car. The amount of energy that can be delivered to the MGU by the RESS is limited to 28kwh. This will be permanently monitored by the FIA. Performance Acceleration: 0 - 100 km/h (0-62mph) in 3 secs Maximum speed: 225 km/h (150mph) Power unit MGU by McLaren Maximum of two MGU's allowed MGU's must be linked only to the rear axle The use of traction control is forbidden Traction battery The traction battery is a Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) and supplies electric energy to the Power Circuit and thus to the traction motor. Any onboard battery electrically connected to the Power Circuit is considered to be an integral part of the vehicle's traction battery RESS A Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) is a system that is designed to propel the car via the electric motor.
