Mercedes F1 Executive Director (Technical) Paddy Lowe was asked about the lessons learned last year and their progress going to the upcoming season. He said their main concern has been to identify their flaws, especially during their race in Singapore last year. From there, they will improve and try to achieve excellence in all areas. Lowe also revealed that they have placed minor revolutions in the upcoming car like a new packaging solution or suspension concept.
Going to the 2016 Technical Briefing provided by Andy Cowell, Managing Director of Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, he explained that they have tinkered with the car to let it offer both the maximum combustion efficiency and efficiency in the various energy transition steps. They are focusing too in the enhancement of the crankshaft performance. In addition, as he mentioned earlier, they have managed to put up to 47% thermal efficiency to the new hybrid racer.
