They have a lot of work to still be done. I watched one interview where one of the team said that they were having problems getting the car balanced because of the weight of the electric motor and where they had to mount it. From the way he talked the electric motor feed juice into the gear box all the time for extra power and recharges the batteries on braking. If that is the case, what advantage is there to the set up?

I know that they have a lot to get straightened out, but just gaining extra power that way seems to be sort of like a long term nitrous shot. I was hoping they would be able to run part of the race just on the electric motor.
