Alliance between MM (so many have called re - collaboration Mercedesa in McLaren) also raises many questions. Thus v paddock Sochi namely, the rumor was stubbornly held that it might be concluded cooperation w/ McLarn in Mercedes represented a hint that it could Mercedes-Benz at the end of the season 2020 left with his factory team Formula 1 and in the royal class of motorsport remained only as a supplier of propulsion units.
So what will happen to the silver arrows after the flight 2020? Toto wolff, team boss Mercedes Benz, said clearly and loudly: “We have a factory team, as well as various alliances with customers. The contract with McLarn is no hint that there will be no more of us than the factory team. We would very much like to understand how Formula 1 will continue, how it will develop, and as a factory team we want to be primarily associated with the royal class of motorsport," so Austrian. Word "preferably”But leaves the back door closed.
Viennese also states that the obligations of the motor company "Mercedes High Performance Powertrains”(HPP) have nothing to do with hiring a team silver arrows. “As an engine supplier, we have been well positioned for many years. We also have a factory team that competes well in Formula 1. Both sides operate independently of each other.“Three clients, as well as our own team, for Mercedes Benz means that v Formulas 1 had great political weight. Po Williams in Racing Point have z McLarn a third party also means a reduction development costswhich are not small.
But let’s get back to that stubborn rumor from Sochi. Will it be Mercedes Benz with his silver arrows remained in Formulas 1 - after the flight 2020 of course - will depend on spora top teams with an umbrella organization FIA in view of the rules for the year 2021. As is well known, it is Mercedes Benz the biggest opponent of these rules. Fans Mercedesa they also hope for some good word Ole Källeniusa, the new head of the group 's management Daimler. Just like its predecessor Dieter Zetsche, is also a 50-year-old Swede supporter of motorsport. The first man McLaren, Zak Brown, but he is convinced: “All we can know is that Mercedes will remain connected to Formula 1."
Of course also American he knows very well how things can be in Formulas 1 they change or reverse quickly. We need to be aware that is a Mercedes from the beginning hybrid period of the royal class of motorsport of the year 2014 invincible. In five years - looking at the whole season - no one has threatened. The Ferrari managed some flash. This year, the picture is just repeating itself. Theirs sixth in a row racing and team title is a formality and a matter of time. Six double titles: What else is needed Mercedes Benz to prove? Who else do they have to to prove? They achieved everything they could. The reason the story ends? To that too question we will get it sooner or later appropriate answer.
