| The German brand’s AMG performance division is working closer than ever with its British-based F1 outfit to transfer the tricks that have made it the most dominant team on the circuit to further improve its power-packed performance cars.
The Mercedes-Benz team has so far won every race of the 2014 Formula One season with the exception of the Canadian Grand Prix, where Aussie Daniel Ricciardo took advantage of brake trouble for both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg to score his maiden victory.
The team has by far been the most dominant in the new era of electric-assisted 1.6-litre turbo charged V6 engines, thanks in part to an innovative turbo charger system.
AMG’s head of powertrain development, Jochen Martin Schmid, said his team is meeting regularly with the F1 outfit to develop plans that could leverage the latest tech into mainstream production cars.
