“The range of fluctuation is within 0.5%, which is different from Mercedes, which accounts for almost 2%.”
The engine introduced in Brazil, which Toto Wolff calls the “spicy engine,” has been preserved for the Saudi and Abu Dhabi rounds where the team believes the engine power will be maximized.
The Jeddah Street Circuit, which will be the setting for the first F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, is touted as the fastest street circuit in F1, and the layout of the Yas Marina Circuit, which will be the setting for the final round F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, has been refurbished.
