 | Jacques Vilnev: In 2026, Mercedes will not take on surprise other motorists, as in 201412-08-2025 |
Vilnev commented on the theory of the dominance of Mercedes in 2026. Formula-1 champion 1997 Jacques Vilnev called not to believe the rumors that the power plants of the Mercedes will significantly exceed the rest in the next season.
In 2014, the Mercedes had an advantage of five years over rivals. More powerful engines were already ready and were in boxes, while the rest were catching up with their power plants.
Because of this, many expect a repetition of those events in 2026. However, I do not think that this time other manufacturers will be taken by surprise.
Now everyone begins to develop with a deep understanding of how such power plants work. Why should Mercedes make another big jump forward? After all, the technology is the same, it is just used differently.
Rumors about the superiority of the Mercedes engines remain only rumors. No one really knows what is happening behind the scenes in various departments.
In any case, it does not look like these motor rules will remain for a long time. And, I hope, no one will have a huge advantage over the others. Indeed, such an advantage is usually preserved for a long time, the motor cannot be improved as quickly as chassis or aerodynamics, ”Vilnev said.
