Engine reliability concerns force Mercedes into changes
With today's launch of its new W12 car, Mercedes has confirmed that concerns over the reliability of the power unit meant the team had needed to make some changes for 2021. Engine chief Hywel Thomas caused a stir last month when he revealed that Mercedes had experienced "some issues" with this year's engine, just weeks before pre-season testing in Bahrain.

I'm sure it will all be ready for the first race." Read also: Mercedes unveils new 2021 W12 Black Arrow With the official...
