The FIA rules are honestly quite baffling sometimes...they have these beautiful flywheel systems and insanely high specific output motors that can capture ridiculous amounts of energy...and then they limit how much they're allowed to use. This is in a race setting where a hybrid system actually gives a power/weight advantage if done right.
I bet the way they set up the turbocompounding thing has to do with the rules too. With their money, they could easily do a full electric boost system.
Personally I think some of the aero restrictions are stupid too but I guess there are counterarguments.
