I've Simulated Mercedes's Rumoured ~10kW ICE Power Advantage! 💡

- ICE power constant
- ERS drops from max to 0 over 5s 📉

In the race, Mercedes can:
⚫️ On one lap, use the 10kW stronger ICE to save 10kW of ERS deployment.
🔵 On the next, deploy the energy saved previously: +10kW ICE power AND +10kW ERS!

Notice that, even when ⚫️ saving energy, they're still faster than 🔴 Ferrari: ERS power fades over time, ICE power remains!

A stronger ICE means:
- Higher average power.
- More strategic flexibility.
- Harvest more while still faster, then deploy for a bigger gain.
- Run more downforce (better cornering and wear); the drag increase will equalise the top speed, yet acceleration remains better.

ICE power is the key to success in 2026!
