Mercedes’ F1 upgrades for the Canadian Grand Prix could put an end to Ferrari’s race start advantage
Mercedes has revealed a raft of F1 upgrades before the Canadian Grand Prix, potentially ending Ferrari’s long-held advantage.
In Miami, McLaren and Red Bull saw performance gains with new parts, while Mercedes introduced only two upgrades but plans to bring more to Montreal.
Mercedes aims to extend their lead at the Canadian GP and prevent rivals from catching up during compression ratio checks starting June 1.
The upgrades include major aerodynamic changes worth three tenths, improvements in race starts, and efforts to reduce turbo lag issues faced by Championship leader Kimi Antonelli.
If Mercedes can address these issues successfully, Ferrari may lose their advantage in race starts against their rivals.
