## Resource

Mercedes rolled out a new power unit not for speed, but for reliability after a string of retirements — including Kimi Antonelli’s DNF in Barcelona. Most customer teams like Alpine and Williams are already running it, with Sainz getting a fresh unit after Austria while McLaren lags behind, though CEO says it’s just a timing issue tied to engine life cycles. McLaren expects Norris and Piastri to get the upgrade in Belgium — a smart move for a power-sensitive track.
