These tests will have an additional interest beyond the simple question of sports performance as a new exhaust, intended to make more noise than the current one, will be tested. This test will be conducted by Mercedes.<\/p>\n<p><i>Autosport<\/i> reveals that the decision to evaluate such a solution during the two days in Barcelona was made following a meeting that took place earlier this week between engine manufacturers and the FIA. The issue of noise from the V6 turbo hybrid engines used this season in Formula 1 has been raised numerous times at the beginning of the season, particularly by the sport&#8217;s fans and especially by <a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/17165-reglementation-2014-la-guerre-est-declaree-.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"R\u00e9glementation 2014: La guerre est d\u00e9clar\u00e9e\">the Grand Prix promoters<\/a>, some of whom have expressed their concerns strongly.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes has already conducted research on this issue: a component would extend the current exhaust and act like a megaphone to amplify the sound at the engine&#8217;s output. A solution already tested by the German manufacturer on test benches, with encouraging results. Henceforth, it is on the track that this solution will be tested.<\/p>\n<p>The FIA will evaluate the system as part of an analysis aimed at introducing changes later in the season. Such a solution would allow, if it works, to avoid making modifications to the engine itself, which could affect the competitiveness of each unit, and thus garner unanimous support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes will conduct the first test of the season with a view to the possible adoption of a new, louder exhaust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":40335,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[1044,1543],"class_list":["post-15581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-moteur-mercedes","tag-technique"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
