As I understand it there are new compression rations for the new regulations to make it easier for new engine manufacturers. It was 18:1 which is complicated and closer to the natural limit as combustion becomes more difficult but the new one is 16:1 which is easier to achieve. According to rumors Mercedes and RB found a way to increase this while running the engine but make it legal when it’s measured. This would move the ratio back towards the old ones, resulting in additional power.









I mean, fair game, right? That’s what new rules in F1 are all about. I’m excited about that. Looking at the rules and extracting the maximum.
