Mercedes reveal the ‘pounding’ problems their power units facedMercedes’ Hywel Thomas has detailed some of the challenges faced by the team’s power unit department during 2022.
Mercedes appeared to be one of the hardest hit by the changes, with the factory team and their customers seemingly struggling for outright power against their rivals early on in the season.Hywel Thomas, managing director of Mercedes High-Performance Powertrains in Brixworth, joined Toto Wolff and Mike Elliott for an end-of-season review of the 2022 campaign.“We didn’t like certain aspects of the deployment or the drivability of the power unit.
“That’s what we were going to be using for the next three years, and so we had a really big development programme over the whole of last year and through that winter, and just trying to make sure we landed that. It was a real big effort, a really, really big effort. “So we had to really go back and reconsider how were we going to develop ourselves out of that position and, after the first race or so, going back and saying our part of this is to get some more performance and get some better drivability and we need to add that at the same time the car is being developed and that’s how we’ll get out of this position.
“It was really ‘well, we’re going to have to do small gains every week’. Just every weekend. Just keep picking off a little gain.
