The engineer said that they will use two power units in order to make the car much faster than that of Max verstappen, direct rival of Hamilton.
âWe have seen quite big changes in performance in the last few races, but if we look at the Saudi Arabian circuit, I think it will come in handy. For Lewis we will have the most powerful engine at our disposalSo that will give you a useful power unit, âShovlin said.
However, Mercedes will concentrate on taking firm steps, although it considers that the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix sIt will be a good track to achieve the objectives, considering the long straights, and curves designed to be one of the fastest circuits.
