Indeed, almost simultaneously, Nico Rosberg, in the lead, and Lewis Hamilton, in second position, encountered a problem with the kinetic energy recovery system of the power unit, the MGU-K. The two men, who then had a lead of about thirty seconds over their closest pursuer, lost between one and three seconds from mid-race onwards.<\/p>\n<p>After their last pit stop, Lewis Hamilton regained the lead but a brake problem ultimately sealed the fate of the Grey cars regarding victory: Hamilton had to retire, and Nico Rosberg &#8211; managing the situation &#8211; could only watch as Daniel Ricciardo surged towards his first F1 win with his overtaking move in the penultimate lap.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes, after the race, announced that the problem was with the MGU-K. There was nothing I could do about our issues, really. We were managing the lack of power but just after overtaking Nico [&#8230;], my brakes failed into turn 10, explained Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab The race was going smoothly [&#8230;] when the two cars suddenly lost the MGU-K and a lot of power, which was really difficult, \u00bb said Nico Rosberg, who managed to finish second. The MGU-K, akin to a beefed-up version of the old KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), recovers energy released during braking to store it in a battery that can then provide additional power. Losing such an element not only makes braking more delicate but also results in a significant loss of power and thus speed, at a time when hybridization between gasoline engines and electric power is advanced in the premier category. This is what caused the downfall of the Silver Arrows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While they were largely dominating the Canadian Grand Prix, both Mercedes cars experienced an electrical problem at the same time, which cost them the victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":39912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[964,1010],"class_list":["post-15321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-mercedes-amg-f1","tag-montreal"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
