That's really interesting, thanks Philip.PhillipM wrote: ↑29 Jan 2021, 16:49That's full power, I.E - qualifying output - is going to be about a tenth, maybe a tenth and a half per lap, depending where, nothing spectacular.
Sustained mode must be better than that though because they're chatty about needing less cooling, so maybe a couple of tenths with the new aero + a little better at race starts because that should also mean a little less fuel load.
Peak figures were banded about quite a lot over time but I always wondered if the secret sauce of the Merc engine was in the sustained output.
Do you know any more about the engine, harvesting and deployment for instance?
