Hybrid electric motors

Hi,

It's a bit annoying that f1 don't quote the max amount of torque available via the electric part of the hybrid system. The strength of using the electric motors is that max amount of torque is immediately available. Therefore, you will see f1 drivers using the hybrid energy for 6.7 secs at the start of the straight which allows them to run more rpm/ bhp as long as the gearing is correct.
I hope the aco quote the limited max torque and power (kw) available.
