Two more years and a new era is coming: MGUH will disappear, the share of electric motor power will increase, and sustainable fuels will also arrive.
We've already seen periods of major change when Mercedes came out on top. According to James Volwes, the situation is similar now, with Toto Wolff and his team far ahead of the rest in terms of powertrains:
“I think Mercedes is doing a really exceptional job. That’s why we are very happy to remain their engine partner. From 2026, the powertrains will be simplified, but at the same time the planning process has undergone a huge change, everything is happening in the world of electricity, and this is not only a challenge, but also a huge opportunity. Mercedes has wisely decided to invest in these technologies before others. At the moment there are no differences between the engines, but soon this will change. True, not to the extent that we have seen since 2014, but they will. However, they will not be so big that they will tear the field to pieces.” - said the former Mercedes employee, Williams team boss.
