A look at how the Ferrari and Mercedes power units differ. At Maranello they opted for a smaller turbo, but according to rivals that is not the only thing making the SF-26 so responsive. Questions about it have reportedly been put to the FIA. Mercedes can afford a bigger turbo because they compensate with better energy recovery. Ferrari are expected to move to a bigger turbo for their 2027 engine specification.
