Mercedes vine cu „arma secretă” în F1 la Sepang, în Malaezia

Mercedes plans to introduce upgrades for the W17 car at the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix, aiming to regain a competitive edge. The last update was in May, and since then, rivals like McLaren and Ferrari have improved significantly. Andrew Shovlin, Mercedes' track engineering director, confirmed the upgrades will enhance performance in both qualifying and the race. However, he noted that the Baku circuit requires a different setup, focusing on straight-line speed and handling. Leclerc is expected to face penalties in Baku, adding to the competitive tension.
