There are still two years left and a new era will begin: MGUH will be abolished, the proportion of electric motor power will increase, and sustainable fuels will come.
There was another era of big changes, when Mercedes was the best team in the game. James Volwes believes that the situation is similar now, with Toto Wolff's team far ahead of the rest in terms of resources:
“I think Mercedes is doing a really exceptional job. That’s why we are very happy to remain engine partners. Starting from 2026, the resources will be simplified, at the same time the design process has undergone a very big change, everything is happening in the electric world, and this is not only a challenge, but also a huge opportunity. Mercedes also started investing in these technologies earlier than anyone else. Currently, there are no differences between the engines, but soon this will change. True, not to the same extent as what we have seen since 2014, but there will be. However, they will not be so big as to brutally break the group.” - said a former Mercedes employee, the head of the Williams team.
