Novinar Formula 1 and former team leader USF1, who did not appear in the royal class of motorsport, sees for the team Mercedes at the beginning of the 2022 season a big weakness. The team received its first blow in December last year, when it lost racing title against Max Verstappn.

The second, an even bigger blow, however, they received by winning design title champion. Because of that, Mercedes can only take advantage 70 percent allowed 400 hours in wind tunnel. Windsor calls it "double blow”For Mercedes. The rule that the winner among the teams is given less time for the wind tunnel was created to try a little bring teams together in the Formula One field, Windsor said in his YouTube video: “They are going into the new season compared to Red Bullom with 10 percent less time in the wind tunnel - and that in time with brand new race cars."

As the construction champion of the 2021 season, Mercedes will be able to use only 2022 percent of the time in the wind tunnel for the 70 championship - out of the allowed 400 hours.

Windsor he mixes up accurate data in his argument. A year ago 2021, so in the 2020 season, he dared Mercedes use 90 percent time in the wind tunnel because 2019 was the first. For this year, this has only dropped to 70 percent for the champion. Number two, then Red Bull, will be able to use this year 75 percent time in the wind tunnel, last season they may still be 92,5 percent. That's right time difference, which the teams have in the wind tunnel, has doubled, so it could represent a major factor in the struggle among the best teams of last season.
