The hybrid system sends power to the rear wheels as well and produces more power than the gas engine driving the front wheels.

The gas engine is said to produce about 500hp and drive the front wheels, while the flywheel hybrid system allows power to be sent to both the front and rear and generates a max of another 750hp. The total system can deliver up to 1250hp for short times.

The problem with the real world car was that the hybrid system was largley inactive, which left them with a massivley understeering car with terrible torque steer. It's no wonder they couldn't compete with that.
