MGU-K Rotating Parts Link

In Simple Terms

The MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic) must be directly connected to the engine's crankshaft at all times during normal racing, spinning at a fixed ratio to it. Think of it like a mechanical chain—the MGU-K and its shaft must also run parallel to the crankshaft, similar to how gears align in a transmission.

• MGU-K rotating parts must maintain a permanent mechanical link to the ICE crankshaft
• The connection must operate at a fixed speed ratio (not variable)
• The MGU-K drive axis must be parallel to the crankshaft axis for proper alignment
• These requirements apply during normal operating conditions throughout the race
