The 2022 Mercedes F1 car called the W13E Performance will make its debut on February 18, and while the biggest changes will be on the aerodynamic side, one must not forget that for the past eight years, it has also had the best engine. In fact, Brixworth’s HPP team has been making perhaps the best engine in F1 since the mid-90s, when it helped Mika Hkkinen win two world titles, before Michael Schumacher and Ferrari dominated the 2000s. started. And in what could be ahead of a four-year engine development freeze in F1, the team at Mercedes and HPP are preparing to bring in another “rocket engine” that could come with an upgraded turbocharger.

In 2022, while the engines are largely the same rules-wise, there is a major change that is on the horizon. Adding a 10 percent E10 biofuel mixture to the overall fuel mix required some major changes to the internal combustion engine. Several teams have reported that this E10 biofuel will result in a loss of horsepower which could be up to 80 bhp to the engines in 2021. For this, teams have had to work not only with their engine suppliers but also with fuel partners.

In 2021, especially at the end of the season, the W12 was dubbed for a rocket engine

Mercedes of course makes its own engines like the Ferrari, Alpine and Red Bull and is working with Petronas to fix this horsepower. Ferrari has reportedly turned a profit in its 2022 engine thanks to Shell and now Mercedes could get another 20 bhp thanks to the combination of this new turbocharger and its new fuel.

Taking into account all of Mercedes’ issues, not only with its own cars, but also with its customers, especially Williams and Aston Martin, it has worked on engine reliability. Notably, Lewis Hamilton was forced to take five engines instead of the permitted three. In the Brazilian GP, ​​his final engine undoubtedly gave him a performance advantage, but it also resulted in grid penalties and financial costs for Mercedes. Valtteri Bottas last year was even worse as he used six engines.
