From year 2014 had Mercedes the best engine. V Brixworth were already in 2013 convinced that they have the right engine for hybrid period Formula 1. And this has been shown in the best light by how all these years have been dominated and at the beginning of that era even deliberately reduced power vehicles, if the words are to be believed Paddy Lowe. For eight years, no other manufacturer could stand close to theirs drive units, let alone seriously quarrel with her. And consequently, they are up to their own good results their partner teams were also coming Williams in Force India.
But with the flight 2022 appeared in Formula 1 a new era with new rules and as it turns out it requires new winners. Ferrari can suddenly win races again and at Red Bullu however, are not observed the aftermath of last season’s duel, which many expected. Pri Mercedes but they obviously still know each other. Helmut Marko he said he has Mercedes only the third best engine, which is not surprising to some extent, because after so many years of success, everything ends once and for all. It's been long enough Mercedes sailed with the wind of success and there are many bad moments in between masterfully solved. But now their sail had apparently broken.
If they will forecasts some that they are the golden times of Mercedes are over, realized, then we can not avoid the date July 1, 2020. You’re probably wondering what was so special back then. This is the day it is Andy cowell, a longtime boss of Mercedes engines, waved goodbye and handed over his work to a successor Hywell Thomas. He was after the Saudi Arabian race Toto wolff asked if they really only have the third best engine and how experience might help them now Cowell. Of course, journalists could ask him more simple question: Is the worse engine related to Cowell's departure? We can be sure that Wolff I would not answer “yes” as this would put me in a bad light Hywel.
Wolff he resorted to this question diplomatic language. Now it is important not to point the finger at individual areas race car. They all pull for the same rope and that is theirs lag behind the top bigger than just an engine. However, he did not respond to the claim that it was Mercedes the engine is only third in the box and that has nothing to do with leaving Cowell. Not surprisingly, yes Mercedes slowly hear the effects of departures some excellent experts. Cowell he is not the only one to have left the Brixworth plant. Ben hodgkinson went to a new engine factory Red Bull Racing, where he will start work on May 24. Besides him, they left steve blewett, Omid mostaghimi, Pip clode, Anton May in Steve brodie.
This is of course especially bad for Lewis Hamilton. You don’t have to be his fan to not feel sorry for him. First, last year in Abu Dhabi after a questionable decision Masia lost his eighth championship title a few weeks later sports crash, so the record of being alone at the top with the most titles won is pushed far to the side. Hamilton hope it will Mercedes picked up again, not yet given up. Also Wolff no and everyone else would be lying on the wrong side if they had already written it off serial champions. But the reality is that a race car W13 it lags behind rivals at the top somewhere between 0,6 and 0,9 seconds. And if Mercedes with pushed technical development with all its mightwhile would Ferrari in Red Bull performing only small steps (which is unbelievable) would take time weeksif not already monthsthat Hamilton could win again on his own.
Until then, I could train of this year’s championship probably driven a long time ago and would Hamilton, which has a contract until the end of the year 2023, remained so only one tryto overtake Michael Schumacher. Maybe it’s good for Formula 1 history books to be a record with seven titles champions share two outstanding racers. And according to many, it would not be fair to do life's work Michael Schumacher lasted less than two decades.
