This and I have a hard time believing Merc is the only one that has been able to find gains here.Pat Pending wrote: ↑11 Mar 2022, 15:55Just looking at the Reaction Engines website, Motorsport is one of the sectors they actively promote the use of their coolers for - https://reactionengines.co.uk/applied-t ... otorsport/PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑11 Mar 2022, 15:20Pat Symmonds says Mercedes' intercooler uses some of the technology used in these rockets:

Almost every single employee RBR paid through the nose for, where machinist and engine builders, not engine designers/engineers.mclaren_mircea wrote: ↑19 Mar 2022, 18:33Maybe Im to dissapointed now... not because of the pace of 0.7 to the pole man but about the engine performance. All the Mercedes cars are horrible in the speed traps. Mclaren and Aston too. How is that posible?? Last year they had the best engine... They are behind Ferrari and Honda clearly. I cant understant it. And I dont want to understand. The engine until March 2022 was not affected by CFD and wind tunnel restrictions or by focosing to much on the 2021. Mclaren, Aston, Williams and Mercedes all have different aero design. But the result it is the same: they are slow in the speed traps. Maybe all the engine guys take by Red Bull now are showing the effect.
No the engine is locked, no more performance gains allowed. The worst engine out there now for few years. Merc customers feeling the Ferrari vibe last year.
Is that locked in terms of engine mapping aswell?
No, the hybrid power train can still be updated, and no engine mappings can be changed from race to race. Just locked once they start qualy
