yamato should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I'm interested to see (though we may never actually know these types of details) how the unknown energy recovery systems will interact with the drivetrain.

I think the regs require constraints around how and when the energy can be released,.... Questions: Could this be synchronized with particular gears or gear changes? Could you have one system (let's say a front wheel flywheel system) just give extra boost on corner exit,.... but then have a rear drive system (enter dangerous banned technology here) that would be sycronized to activate for say only 6th and 7th gear?

I don't know jack about gearboxes; but it seems intriguing,.... maybe the secondary system could just be used for fuel economy purposes; but it would seem like some advantages could be gained in this way?????
