📊 Austrian GP - Qualifying | Mercedes's Deployment Secret?

I've looked at ALL laps from Austria Quali and found big differences in deployment/harvesting strategies! 👀

⬛️ Mercedes: acceleration drops minimally with speed. They can do this because they harvest at FULL THROTTLE below 150 km/h - something no other team does!
🟦 RBR: strong deployment and minimal harvesting at ~200 km/h, but acceleration drops massively with speed. Clipping lasts a long time, though less intense than Mercedes'.
🟥 Ferrari: sits between the two extremes, and has the lowest acceleration above 310 km/h (weak ICE).

Cars will be energy-starved at Silverstone: a strong ICE and a smart ERS strategy will be critical!
