Ferrari, Renault and Honda can have their chest, as well as wetting. After a few years of dominance is the rack still at Mercedes.

At least, that is what the media would have you believe. The past few years was the Mercedes V6 is arguably the best block, but the limit is not yet reached. Also this year they have Mercedes again due to the extra peekaatjes from the 1.6-liter small zespittertje know to make. This would be the total capacity above the 900 hp out, values that are hard in the direction of the bizarre capabilities from the first turbotijdperk in the ’80s, but then combined with reliability.

The secret of the success of their engine, according to Mercedes-AMG, the efficiency of the power source. When a combustion engine is traditionally by far the most of the energy is converted into hot and not in motion. At Mercedes they have the thermal efficiency last year, around 45 percent know to get and also this year they have the block again more efficient. In an era In which you have to deal with a maximum consumption and tankstops are not allowed, that is a very important asset.

Yet, they are Mercedes not in the least convinced of dominance this upcoming season. Of course Ferrari feared, that Italians have for season 2015 all show closer and closer to the German dominators. Interestingly enough, they call also Honda as a possible competitor, they apparently have high expectations of the new Japanese source of power, in spite of the for Honda dramatically expired first season. About Renault, they have not, something they even Renault himself. Via Motorsport.com
