The encapsulated WHP flywheel energy storage system that sits in the cockpit alongside the driver can store up to 700 kilojoules (KJ) of energy that it subsequently returns to the electrical machine—about 17% more than in 2014. The improved hybrid output, however, results in a restriction for the internal combustion engine.

Ford is focused on lightweighting as a key enabling technology for lowering fuel consumption in combustion-engined vehicles (ICE) and for extending the range—and the size—of battery electric vehicles (EVs). Once you take the weight out, you take the engine down and get substantial deltas in fuel economy.

Still, Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, and McLaren spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year on race engineering and R&D alone. The FIA caps the cost of a single F1 engine at around US $15 million, but some teams try to hide true costs to avoid penalties. So the performance gap remains huge, but Formula E is trying to close it.
