Mercedes V6 hybrid Formula One power unit

And sure, there was a PU advantage.

The Mercedes PU is by far the best around Monza this weekend and I think there's also an extra element that a fresh PU and we've seen evidence of this already this season is better than an old PU so he had all the elements in his favour to exploit it but he still had to go out there and do it He still had to execute it.

He still had to go and fight his teammate who wasn't going to give him an easy time.

And he still had the ability to not kick off massively when the team's on the hold position and not sacrifice the Mercedes lead.

He just doesn't do it all the time.

So... that's the question and in many ways i quite like to see leclerc in a different environment to ferrari but he's on that long-term deal so i don't think we're going to see that for quite some time john adam b says in an alternative universe could ferrari have challenged the mercedes here

I think it would have been difficult because the Mercedes PU is so strong.

But I think if they had worked properly in qualifying, maximized the slipstream, I mean, it would have helped Lewis because Lewis had the, it was Lewis's turn to choose car position.
