George Russell stated, 'You wouldn't want to lose Max because we all enjoy racing against him, said Russell. But he has achieved what most drivers dream of, which is winning a world championship and he has got four of them.'
The MGU-K will be able to deploy its full 350 kW (469 hp) in key acceleration zones, complementing the V6's 400 kW (536 hp). Outside of those zones, the MGU-K is limited to just 250 kW (335 hp), resulting in smaller speed differentials.
