Mercedes has dominated the current F1 season so far, but will this change have any effect?
As of June 1, a new rule tweak has been implemented, raising questions about how much it will affect Mercedes.
Mercedes has been dominant this season, winning all five grands prix, with Kimi Antonelli leading by 43 points over teammate George Russell in the drivers’ standings.
In the constructors’ championship, Mercedes holds a significant 72-point lead over Ferrari and a 113-point lead over McLaren.
The FIA will now measure the compression ratio of new power units differently, potentially impacting Mercedes’ performance.
This change could provide an opportunity for Mercedes’ rivals to close the gap, but the ultimate impact remains to be seen.
