Would the electric motor be able to get the car rolling from standstill ? i.e. does it have enough torque ?
This is assuming that the ERS is charged whilst sat on the grid ? I guess it would be ?
Its an interesting question
I would have thought so. The electric motor probably has more torque from standstill than the old V8s This is assuming that the ERS is charged whilst sat on the grid ? I guess it would be ?

On the subject of torque did everyone else enjoy the 11's Bottas laid down off the start in Germany? I did! What was interesting is he didn't fully light the tyres up straight away but quite some way into the 'launch'.
The LMP hybrids tend to run a direct to wheel system, I believe looking online the Toyota runs a transmission based system to the rear and an extra system at the front soley for the front wheels. This means they can run the car without the engine running if the energy store has enough capacity to allow this. Mark Webber in this years Porsche did just that at LeMans when his engine failed.
