They are following the British Touring Car Championship who have had hybrid for a couple of years. In the BTCC the amount of hybrid boost is controlled in the same way that they used to use success ballast to even out performance across the season. Everybody starts the year with the full boost but race winners lose most boost for the next race, second loses a bit less and so on. If you finish outside the highest places you get some boost back. BTCC is also moving to fully synthetic fuel over the next two seasons.
I suspect that the suppliers are now concerned about spontaneous combustion from the battering the batteries get given their age and life they've had and that's why they won't allow a reset any more....
