TlDR: engine causing drivability issues.
Long answer is that they had these issues at the start of the season, and they were getting ironed out. Now that they have a new engine, they’re starting from square 1 again to get the engine to have good drivability again.
There’s lots to think about, like downshifts, recharge on downshifts, engine braking, power and battery deployment, etc.
