It is rumored that Mercedes and Red Bull have found a loophole in the new regs regarding compression ratio . The compression ratio I think is a max of 14:1 and the test for that is done while the engine is cold . MB and RB supposedly have found a way to meet the cold test but also to have a hot ratio of 16:1 . That increase is supposedly worth 15 hp . I didn't really understand the article but it had to do with the combustion chamber expanding when hot and increasing the compression ratio . Let the new regs begin
