The battery manufacturers for FE was originally Williams and is now McLaren. McLaren's eMachine was the original Formula E motor.
I too would like to know what isn't transferable!
If it were wec I could understand but what will you transfer from fully electric car? Software? there is not ers and gears and there is standart battery. Did Mercedes produce an electric motor which produce more torq with same power/same consumption or lasting long with same battery by knowledge/eperience from FE. If so I accept that.
In the other hand merc's power is making its difference at q where all teams using full battery and I think merc's performance comes from ice. Mercedes's performance was the main subject here, so it looks like FE not brought much to there. Some forumers thinks as if I am speaking with knowledge from research on the car. No this is just my opinion.
The 'letric part has efficiency at both ends. Generating with less loss ( then storage ) and use with more efficiency.
As this is the only motive FE has, I would assume they have been paying more attention to small % which could now be intigrated inthe F1 car
When FE have so much restriction and many parts produced by other manufacturers they have very small area to develop. This may cause a bit more knowledge at that area. If they get more knowledge about torq delivery it is ok. It is important with FE because less grip with the tyres and much lesser df grip. But I would say that (maybe it is not true) F1 teams have to be more advanced at that area because of e.m. give extra torq to active ice torq. FE must be more smoot at every rpm except start.
In the same time this lack of tyre grip and dowsnforce grip they can not have recuparation as agressive as F1 do at breaking.
If I am not wrong Renault is there long before Mercedes. What is their situation compared to Mercedes? Lets except good knowledge comes from them to F1, lets accept they are more better than F1 teams hybrid system developers. Still this is not explaining merc's engine performance. Renault also must be there or must be better if it were origin of performance merc have.
