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.
Was also terribly expensive. The performance to cost wasn't worth it even for F1
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.
Only getting rid of them next year I'm pretty sure. And initial problems of reliability but not these days. With phenomenal thermal efficiency from tiny engines
