Mercedes has been the predominant force in the last seven years of the hybrid era Formulas 1, so many were surprised that they did not find themselves at the top in the winter tests and that they had a lot of problems on top of that.
Although it is clear to most teams, even more to competitors, what they spent it on development tokens this season, however, it may be Mercedes trick. While many think it is Mercedes chips spent for his new gearbox, Craig Scarborough it does not accept. “I don't think they did. In fact, Mercedes said we can see what the chips were used for,”Said a technical expert on the Youtube channel Peter Windsor.
In Scarborough explain: “One of these conspiracy theories is also that Mercedes only used the updates on the day of the shoot, after testing. I expect them to do something on the nose of the race car. It is also possible with the gearbox, which means they had a new gearbox in the old housing. This explains the reliability issues and the problems with the rear of the car. Bringing a new rear suspension and transmission housing to the race could solve the problem."
For this reason, he has Scarborough message for all fans: "It is interesting to follow this, but at this stage it is not good to just write off Mercedes. In any case, it gives us that hope that the start of the season may be exciting in the fight for victory,”Concluded the expert.
