Before a wheel has turned in anger, there are fears that Mercedes – who also provide engines to defending champions McLaren, Williams and Alpine – and Red Bull have gained a vital advantage.The new generation of hybrid engines are likely to be the key to performance in 2026 and a dispute over how Mercedes, Red Bull, Honda – who are supplying Aston Martin – Ferrari and Audi have built their new units has been growing during the close season
