via f1oversteer.comMercedes are in for a dose of karma when 2027 F1 engine rule change comes inMercedes is facing potential challenges with the upcoming 2027 F1 engine rule changes, despite their current dominance in the 2026 season.

Mercedes has performed well, winning nine out of 13 races, but their rivals are working hard to close the gap, with Ferrari still lagging behind in power output.

This could pose a risk for Mercedes if they do not adapt their strategy, especially with the new power split and reduced electrical deployment, which could impact their performance in the future.Wed 9 Sep · 17:30 UTC
