The Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 Team are set to receive an even
greater challenge from rivals Scuderia Ferrari from the Canadian Grand Prix
onwards as the Italian team are set for development push on the power unit
side.
It is estimated that the increase in performance will be
between 20 and 30 horsepower which will be of great benefit to the team for the
Canadian Grand Prix as although the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is essentially a
street circuit it is an extremely fast circuit. Ferrari start the European leg
of the Formula One season in second place behind the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1
Team in the championship.
However the team will use their development tokens to allow
them to carry out development work on the power train.
Ferrari have more tokens in bank than Mercedes and this
should help to beat the Silver Arrows more often later this season.

Team Principal Maurizio Arrivabene has revealed that the outfit will have an
upgrade package for the next race, the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit De Catalunya
which takes place in just under three weeks. The team have further developments in the pipeline for later
on in the season.
