Sadly from what I got so far it won't be used for anything like that. Would have been interesting addition imo if the drivers had a charge indicator and a button to use it.
F1 is irrelevant, their system is designed only as an additional boost and it is limited by energy per round. Stock Toyota hybrids are also close to being irrelevant becuse they are combined with Atkinson-cycle engines and CVT which means the engine can run in near-constant RPM where it has very high effciency.

3,9 kWh is tiny because in reality it is enough for some 20 km of liaison cruising or for 2,5 minutes of full power (4 km @ 100 km/h average speed).
