Which component in an F1 hybrid power unit stores kinetic energy during braking?
ERS Battery
MGU-K
Turbocharger

What is the primary function of the MGU-H in a Formula 1 hybrid power unit?
Store electrical energy in the battery
Manage hydraulic systems of the car
Recover kinetic energy under braking
Convert exhaust heat into electrical energy
The Motor Generator Unit - Heat (MGU-H) captures energy from exhaust gases and converts heat into electrical power. The MGU-K handles kinetic energy recovery.
