How Has Mercedes Done it?

This is why I love Formula One.

I enjoyed that. Great find PG, thanks for sharing.

Brill. Hey Cos, what's your take on that video?

[Scott]

That's really interesting.  A simple (simple to look at, yet certainly complex engineering) solution for so many different problems. 

I'm completely speculating of course, but that sort of simple yet complex engineering sure smells of Brawn's signature.  Could he have figured out a brilliant solution for this year's engine before he left? 

Great find PG

Sound engineering. Merc probably also got an advantage on its engine customers, too. The customer teams wouldn't have know the exact specs until well into the design of their cars. For example, they probably mounted their gearboxes in a more standard position. Not an easy thing to change late in the process.

I'm not normally into the engineering and technical side but that was interesting, good one PG.

And now for a bit of their Hybrid Tech...

That video, from Merc, showed the compressor section of the turbo in the conventional position. It's still at the rear with the turbine section. Maybe Merc was still trying to keep it a secret at the time this vid was made.
