gives each manufacturer a standard Maximum Stint Energy for each track and race. That power is measured in megajoules by sensors at the rear axle and the amount for each manufacturer is determined by BOP. Teams can elect to burn more energy through standard horsepower and regenerated hybrid electric power—or they can use less energy per lap, which likely means going slower to extend the time and distance between pit stops. There is a severe penalty if a team exceeds its Maximum Stint Energy.
