In two years, a new era will come: the MGUH will be discontinued, the proportion of electric motor performance will increase, and sustainable fuels will emerge.
There has been a period of significant changes before, when the Mercedes team was the best at catching the trend. According to James Volwes, the situation is similar now, as Toto Wolff's team is leading the field in terms of resources:
„I believe that Mercedes is doing an exceptionally good job. That is why we are still very happy to be their engine partners. From 2026, the resources will be simplified, but the design process has undergone a major change, everything is happening in the electric world, and this is not only a challenge but also a huge opportunity. Mercedes has smartly started investing in these technologies earlier than anyone else. Currently, there are no differences between the engines, but this will change soon. True, not to the extent we saw from 2014, but there will be differences. However, they will not be so significant that the field will be brutally torn apart.” - said a former Mercedes employee, now the team principal of Williams.
