Mercedes-Benz To Leverage F1 Tech Center For Future Powerplants

Mercedes-Benz head of development Thomas Weber has confirmed that the German manufacturer has a plan in place to make greater use of its Formula 1 engine development facility in the UK for road car projects.

Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, the facility in Brixworth that is responsible for the hybrid 1.6-litre V6 powerplants used by the Mercedes F1 squad, has potential to take on new work now that the intensive development of the racing units has ended.
